Agenda packet — Colma City Council, September 11, 2024 (part 3 of 4)

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

Jobs for Youth is seeking additional funding to reach our goal of providing 20 higher education scholarships through the Al Teglia Scholarship program. We initially requested $4,000 from our longstanding community partner, the City of Burlingame. Unfortunately, the City was able to provide only $940, which is 24% of our original request. To achieve our fund raising goal and effectively support our youth, we are now requesting the Town of Colma to contribute towards funding three higher education scholarships ($2,000 each).

This amount represents an increase of $2,000 over last year's request. Your support will be essential in helping deserving individuals achieve their educational and career aspirations.

The Town of Colma's 2023-25 strategic plan includes a focus on community, with planned programs to expose and develop lifelong skills for youth. By partnering with Jobs for Youth, the Town of Colma will be supported in achieving these goals. Jobs for Youth offers various workshops that help youth develop interpersonal skills, technical skills, and job preparedness skills. Town of Colma youth who take one of our workshops not only become eligible for the scholarship, but also receive other exclusive benefits which include 1:1 mentoring, access to our youth focused job board, a monthly newsletter that highlights development opportunities, eligibility for the JFY Summer Internship program in various departments throughout the County of San Mateo, and membership with the Jobs for Youth Alumni Association. Jobs for Youth values its partnership with the Town of Colma and actively participates as a vendor in all Colma Community Fairs to support the community. JFY is dedicated to fostering a positive impact within the Colma community.

C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2023-24 contribution was used:

organization's services or programs; and
A. In the 2023-24 fiscal year, 299 students from the Jefferson Union High School District and the South San Francisco Unified High School District attended JFY workshops and became JFY members. Of these students, 123 live in Colma's zip codes of 94014 & 94080.

B. Most youth attend workshops on the campus of their schools during the regular school day. JFY went to all the high schools in the Jefferson Union High School District and the South San Francisco Unified High School District. Some of our members attend virtual public workshops or workshops hosted by local libraries and local community organizations throughout the County.

C. JFY works closely with partners in schools and community organizations, including teachers and administrators at Jefferson Union High School District and the South San Francisco Unified High School District, to schedule workshops and advertise our Scholarship program to Colma students, parents, and staff. We also send JFY Members a monthly newsletter which features scholarship information, upcoming workshops, new job and volunteer opportunities, career development tips, and community resources and events.

The generous $4,000 contribution from the Town of Colma funded two scholarships to youth in need. Janelle Deguzman and Gia Yen Ta were each awarded $2,000 to help them achieve their higher education dreams! Janelle is a senior at Westmoor High school and dreams of becoming a registered nurse in the ICU. "I am going into this field because I lost my dad to cancer, and all I want to do is help people." Janelle has already completed a course at Skyline College and is looking forward to attending a 4-year university. Gia is a South San Francisco High School graduate, and currently attends Skyline College. She dreams of becoming a registered nurse specializing in neonatal care and will be the first in her family to attend college. "I am passionate about volunteering at my local hospital and advocating for immigrant rights to raise awareness on healthcare disparities." Both scholars have two years to fully claim their scholarships.

2023-24 Town of Colma Community Grant Report Requirements 2023-24 Final Report
Jobs for Youth Al Teglia ScholarshipJOBS FOR YOUTH Town of Colma Grant Report (i) Describes the results of the program or project funded by the grant;
In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the Jobs for Youth program traveled all throughout the county to provide career development
workshops to youth. At the end of the fiscal year, we have hosted 149 workshops and served over 1,620 youth. All youth who registered and attended one of the JFY job preparedness workshops became eligible to apply for the JFY Al Teglia Scholarship.

The JFY Al Teglia Scholarship program helps our San Mateo County youth go after their career and educational dreams while inspiring a future of equity and inclusion in higher education. The scholarship program aims to increase postsecondary educational attainment among low-income youth, with the expectation that higher levels of education and training lead to socioeconomic gain. Our goal was to fully fund 20 scholars with $2,000 scholarships, and thanks to the Town of Colma, JFY was able to achieve that goal. The Town of Colma’s $4,000 grant sponsored two of these scholars, who are now able to go after their higher education dreams. (ii) Evaluates the results of the program or project funded by the grant; and
We measure the success of our Scholarship program using a mix of quantitative and qualitative data. Our Scholars are required to submit proof of enrollment to receive the first half of their scholarship funds and proof of course completion to receive the second half. This allows us to monitor the achievement of short and intermediate outcome goals—specifically, Scholar enrollment in postsecondary courses and Scholar completion of those courses. Additionally, we collect longitudinal qualitative data from our Scholars in the form of mandatory progress updates. The content of these updates allows us to better understand the impact of our scholarship on student motivation, as well as longer-term impacts on Scholar progress toward graduation and career goals. Other metrics of success for the scholarship center on quantitative operational goals for fundraising, scholarship marketing, and internal process improvements.

Our shared success is measured in the lives we enrich through higher education and economic growth for a brighter future. To date, 345 scholarships have been awarded, providing a total of $468,000 to deserving youth.
(iii) Provides an accounting of the use of the grant funds.

The JFY Al Teglia Scholarship program is sustained by grants, and annual fundraising efforts led by the JFY staff and a volunteer workgroup. All funds are held in a trust fund account, which is kept 100% separate from the JFY operating budget. The Town of Colma’s $4,000 grant funds two $2,000 higher education scholarships for two marginalized youth. Please see the attached financial documentation of the 2023-24 scholarship budget, and how each fund was used.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

Bike Month in May and Bike to Work/Wherever Days (BTWD) on May 16-18, 2025 are part of a national effort to encourage people to bike to work, parks, schools, libraries, and shops (in conjunction with public transit) with goals of reducing carbon emissions, improving local air quality and stimulating community health.

Locally, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) coordinates and oversees a variety of activities in this effort to increase active transportation. Funds received from Colma would go toward:

Free bicycling classes to all residents and employees in San Mateo and Santa Clara county. Workshops to educate the public about using a bicycle to commute or replace car trips, including bicycling safety, overcoming barriers to riding, and using bicycles in conjunction with public transportation like BART and SamTrans.

Outreach to Colma-based companies and organizations to help promote employee bicycle commuting and a local partner for hosting an Energizer Station during Bike to Wherever Days.

This is possible with cooperation and collaboration with the city or other local groups to help communicate the details of the Bicycling 101 Workshops and Bike Month activities to the local Colma community.

The program works to encourage bicycling because it is fun, creates a sense of community, and normalizes bicycling. People realize that they don't have to be an elite athlete, wear special clothing, or have an expensive bike to be a bike commuter.

We believe participating in BTWD and encouraging bicycle commuting is a way for the Town of Colma to improve quality of life, reduce greenhouse emissions, and promote the use of public transit. Funding will go towards running a successful BTWD program during the month of May and continue to strengthen bicycle infrastructure and culture throughout the region.

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

estaff pay increases across the board
ewe are scaling our reach, offerings, and engagement for BTWD, specifically for Colma and San Mateo County
eHost more Energizer Stations in Colma and SMC
e1ncrease programmatic offerings in Colma, such as Bike Ed, tabling opportunities, etc leading up to/supporting BTWD
Bike to Wherever Day (BTWD) & Bike Month is our signature event designed to encourage folks to give bicycling anywhere a try. A positive experience on BTWD inspires new cyclists to continue the habit year-round. In 2025, we'll continue to organize in-person and virtual events (e.g. classes, rides, webinars) to further spread bicycling love and awareness. Typical participation: 40,000 people per year.

BTWD is a free and fun event that gives people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and ability the opportunity to experience and engage with Colma in a new and more meaningful way from the slower-paced saddle of their bike. People who travel by bike gain a greater understanding of community assets and an appreciation for the many resources the city has to offer.

BTWD builds community by bringing together citizens, businesses, government offices, and other entities to celebrate alternative modes of transportation that improve quality of life by reducing traffic congestion and greenhouse emissions while increasing physical and emotional health.

Marketing Opportunity: BTWD offers sponsors the opportunity to have their logo on bags, t-shirts, bike jerseys, posters, and other items distributed to cyclists and the general public. Sponsors are also gratefully acknowledged on our website, in emails, in press releases, and via social media channels.

C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2023-24 contribution was used:

organization's services or programs; and
A) SVBC is expanding its reach in San Mateo County. In 2022, the Town of Colma hosted one energizer station at the Town Hall, and one resident officially registered to pledge to ride. In 2023, 4,718 people pledged to ride during BTWD across SVBC's 127 energizer stations. In 2024, the ridership (manual counts) totaled 5,290, 12.1 % higher than last year. We had 3,849 people pledged to ride (registered on line) during BTWD across SVBC's 113 energizer stations. In San Mateo County, we saw an increase to 1012 pledges - 9.05% more than last year's 928 pledges.

Our staff equipped 10 Energizer Stations on May 16th at strategic locations to assist participants from the Town of Colma in commuting to neighboring cities. The Energizer Station at South San Francisco BART drew a significant number of riders during its operating hours. Hillside Boulevard continues to be one of the busiest bike corridors in Colma and North San Mateo County. The actual number of Colma residents or employees among the Energizer Station visitors who received bags is unclear since our pledge data does not indicate Colma residency. This can also mean that visitors to the energizer station are likely employees (non-Colma residents) or residents of nearby jurisdictions that pledged to ride. In 2025, we'll continue to reach out to all the residents of the Town of Colma to increase registered participation.

B) SVBC will continue to work with the City of Colma to identify high pedestrian and bike traffic to host an energizer station for the residents.

C) BTWD marketing campaigns prior to and during the month of May. Promotional materials will be shared on social media, websites, press releases, and newsletters to corporations and the general public.

Generous funding from the Town of Colma ($3,500) went towards enabling the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) to run a successful Bike to Wherever Days (BTWD) Program during the month of May 2024. This year Bike to Wherever Days spanned three days, May 16th-18th, with Bike to Work Day on May 16th. Further, SVBC staff organized a month-long series of additional in-person and virtual events (e.g. classes, rides, webinars) free to all residents and employees in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. Bike Month festivities were capped with a celebratory Bike Bash on May 18th at Cognition Cyclery in San Mateo. There we celebrated our 2024 Bike Champions of the year. The Town of Colma was the only San Mateo County jurisdiction that granted funds to the Program. This enabled SVBC to maintain outreach and support to individual residents, encouraging them and others in the county to participate as Energizer Station hosts or riders.

At each of the various Energizer Stations each table was equipped with a full Energizer Station Kit- a box containing:
eBTWD Bags with ways to connect with SVBC, an SVBC sticker, flashlight, and other swag from Commute.org. e2 Free T-Shirts
ecowbell for cheering people on as they bike
eEnergizer Station Posters
eExtra SVBC flyers
The grant funds from Colma ($3,500) enabled SVBC to cover our staff time to deliver Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Day activities also detailed within the 2024 Colma Grant Report Bike Month Calendar of Events: https://bikesiliconvalley.org/events/bike-month Bike Champions of the Year:https://bayareabiketowork.com/event-information/bike-champion-of-the-year https://bikesiliconvalley.org/news/2024/5/meet-the-2024-bike-champions-of-the-year

Town of Colma I Grant Report FY 2023-24
Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition
Program Summary & Results
Generous funding from the Town of Colma ($3,500) went towards enabling the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) to run a successful Bike to Wherever Days (BTWD) Program during the month of May 2024. This year Bike to Wherever Days spanned three days, May 16th-18th, with Bike to Work Day on May 16th. This event is part of a national effort to encourage residents to bike to all types of destinations : work, school, parks, libraries and shops.

Further, SVBC staff organized a month-long series of additional in-person and virtual events (e.g. classes, rides, webinars) free to all residents and employees in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties .1 Bike Month festivities were capped with a celebratory Bike Bash on May 18th at Cognition Cyclery in San Mateo. There we celebrated our 2024 Bike Champions of the year.2 The Town of Colma was the only San Mateo County jurisdiction that granted funds to the Program. This enabled SVBC to mantaind outreach and support to individual residents, encouraging them and others in the county to participate as Energizer Station hosts or riders.

At each of the various Energizer Stations each table was equipped with a full Energizer Station Kit- a box containing:
• BTWD Bags with ways to connect with SVBC, an SVBC sticker, flashlight, and other swag from Commute.org.
• 2 Free T-Shirts
• Cowbell for cheering people on as they bike
• Energizer Station Posters
• Extra SVBC flyers
Energizer station hosts were also encouraged to attend 1 of 3 Energizer Station Trainings held on April 29th, 30th, and May 2nd .
1 Bike Month Calendar of Events: https:UbikesmconvaUey.orq/events/bjke-month 2 Bike Champions of the Year:https-//bayareabjketowork com/event-jnformatjon/bike-champjon-of-the-year https ://bikesiliconvalley .orq/news/2024/5/meet-the-2024-bike-champions-of-the-year The Town of Colma was recognized on the official BTWD t-shirts, canvas messenger bags, the SVBC website, BTWD posters and all emails sent to bi-weekly to our mailing list of over 25,000 individuals. Marketing of the program was further pushed to all of our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, lnstagram) and detailed information is on the Program web page.3 Since the Town of Colma is covered by our North San Mateo County Team4, in the months leading up to Bike Month, we sought to recruit our local team members as bike ambassadors to help staff and/or visit the Colma energizer station . One of the local team leaders volunteered to manage an energizer station near the Colma and South San Francisco border, engaging with bicyclists from both communities.

Additionally, our Town of Colma contact received communications via email with bike festivities and other information to share with Town Staff such as the Media toolkit. 5 Evaluating Program Results
We have been able to build on last year's momentum and improve on Bike Month and Bike to Wherever Days, including in the Town of Colma. This year the ridership (manual counts) totaled 5,290, 12.1% higher than last year. We had 3,849 people pledged to ride (registered online) during BTWD across SVBC's 113 energizer stations. In San Mateo County, we saw an increase to 1012 pledges - 9.05% more than last year's 928 pledges .

SVBC recognizes the importance of the Hillside Boulevard corridor as a crucial connector for residents from various neighboring jurisdictions such as Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, Brisbane, and others . It is worth noting that the Town of Colma's investments in bike infrastructure not only benefit its own residents and employees, but also contribute to reducing car traffic and greenhouse gas emissions from trips originating outside the town borders. Given the close proximity between these jurisdictions, North San Mateo County residents move between them seamlessly. SVBC maintains regular communication in the form of 3 BTWD Webpage: https:Ubikesjjjconvalle¼orq/events/btwd 4 The team covers Brisbane, Colma, Daly City, South San Francisco and San Bruno. 5 BTWD Media Tool-kit bttps·//bjkesjjjconyaHeyorg/eyents/btwd/medja-kjt 2 our e-bulletin with 180 individuals in the cities covered by our North San Mateo County local team.

Because of these trends, SVBC sees significant potential for increasing participation in the Town by hosting the Bike Month festivities each year. As residents and commuters become more familiar with this community bike program, there is an opportunity to attract more participants. We also have been working at the regional level to get a better handle on counting employees whose place of residence may be different from their place of employment.

This is SVBC staff's third year managing energizer stations in San Mateo County and we continue to actively build upon the efforts of the local team. We are interested in brainstorming better methods for Colma to log consistent pledges to ride year over year. This year are expanding collaboration at the regional level launching the Bay Area Bike Challenge 6 that will continue to grow.

Our organization is confident that the local team's energy and enthusiasm will continue to facilitate collaboration with the Town of Colma's planners, particularly on the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan. These ongoing interactions throughout the year can serve as touchpoints to encourage further progress, building upon the successes achieved so far and setting the stage for an even more successful Bike Month next year.

San Mateo County Results
Across San Mateo County, we are seeing the bump in biking during the pandemic continue to taper down while surpassing 2023 engagement. This means more and continued encouragement is needed to ensure residents remain interested in biking as a form of travel, exercise, and recreation .

Bike commuting continues to increase. We surpassed last year and we're back to pre-pandemic levels: 10,422 2019 and 10,381 2024 - numbers back to pre-pandemic.

Energizer Stations. The number of energizer stations in San Mateo County has fluctuated over the years. We saw a the energizers stations are stable compared to last year. 2018: 50

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

Sitike Counseling Center ("Sitike") opened its doors in 1988- born of a passionate commitment to offer hope and healing to people whose lives are affected by addiction, violence, and mental illness.

Sitike's mission is to provide community-based counseling and education in a safe and healing environment that embraces the cultural and emotional needs of every client and to help people find hope, resiliency, and life-affirming change. Our vision is a community where diversity, compassion, healing, and growth are encouraged, valued, and celebrated. The devastating effects of substance abuse, mental illness and violence are diminished. Relationships, families, and children thrive.

Located in South San Francisco and registered as a 501(c)(3), Sitike has thirty-four years of experience contracting with Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, six years of experience contracting with the Probation Department and twenty-four years of experience contracting with Human Services Agency.

Our multi-disciplinary staff team provides a wide array of services (provided in English and Spanish).

Each of our program's adults challenged by trauma, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and other debilitating situations (i.e., legal problems, homelessness, food insecurity, intimate partner violence, etc.). Though counseling and education, our programs aim to:

I.Offer evidence-based, safe and affordable treatments with demonstrated results;

2.Address the needs of the whole person, including relational, educational, social, legal, and vocational needs;

3.Support clients in establishing and maintaining their sobriety;

4.Reduce the frequency and severity of mental health symptoms;

5.lnterrupt the cycle of violence and end intimate partner abuse;

6.Educate clients about addiction, triggers, relapse cycles, and the development of support networks;

7.Provide education to family members and loved ones, so they can health themselves and support their family member in recovery; a.Support clients in improving overall wellness and quality of life, while reducing recidivism and the strain on the public healthcare system.

Many of the clients served by Sitike are people living with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders.

These burdensome conditions have significant physical, emotional, functional, social, and economic consequences for people who live with these disorders and their loved ones. Society as a whole is also affected by the prevalence of co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring disorders has been associated with an increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular conditions; injuries and motor vehicle crashes; sexually transmitted and blood-borne illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis Band C, resulting from risky sexual behaviors and/or injection drug use; pregnancy complications and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS); and drug overdoses.

Over the past two decades, the behavioral health field's knowledge of the outcomes, service needs, and treatment approaches for individual with co-occurring disorders has expanded considerably. Co-occurring disorders are complex and bidirectional. They can wax and wane over time.

Co-occurring disorders are strongly associated with socioeconomic and health factors that can challenge recovery such as unemployment, homelessness, incarceration/criminal justice system involvement, and suicide. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA):

1.29% of people with co-occurring disorders were unemployed and 50% were not in the labor force;

2.Of people 12 and older with co-occurring disorders, 8% experience homelessness;

3.Of people incarcerated in the U.S. state prisons, about 48% have a history of mental illness, 26% have a history of substance abuse disorder, and 49% have a history of co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder;

4.46% of individuals in the United States who died by suicide had a known mental condition, and 28% misused substances.

Grant funds would be used to ensure that all clients needing our services are able to access them, regardless of their ability to pay. These funds would be used to ensure the uninsured and underinsured have equitable access to care.

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

We were not a grant recipient last year.

However, we believe this request is justified. An $8,000.00 grant would ensure we our agency cou Id deliver 250 hours of counseling services.

In the past year, the cost of doing business has increased significantly and inflation, cost of living in the bay area, and a state-wide lack of qualified counselors has had significant impacts on our operations. Now, more than ever, we need to partner with local government to tackle these complex problems. This will allow us to ensure we can offer market rate salary and benefits and invest in our greatest asset, our staff team.

Substance use, mental illness, and domestic violence directly affect millions of Americans every year, causing motor vehicle crashes, crimes, injuries, reduced quality of life, impaired health, and far too many deaths. Folks with co-occurring disorders have unique biopsychosocial needs that must be addressed if their treatment is to be successful. The medical, social, emotional, and financial consequences and costs of these disorders to individuals, families and communities is enormous.

Because co-occurring disorders can compromise every aspect of a person's life, such as their physical health and well-being, emotional state, spirituality, and more, treatment approaches should also be dynamic and integrative. As a person heals from the inside out, it is crucial that maladaptive behaviors be rectified, and healthier coping mechanisms are implemented. Teaching positive strategies for coping in lieu of substance abuse will be an essential part of the recovery process. Similarly, it is necessary for a folks to heal and process any underlying psychological trauma that may have contributed to the development of co-occurring disorders. This will also be an integral and necessary part of treatment and recovery.

Through public partnerships and by embedding our programs and services into the larger community we can reduce the burden on the larger health care and governmental system while also increasing access to care, improving the quality of services provided, and saving lives. Additional benefits to the Town of Colma include a reduction of substance use, intimate partner violence, and calls to emergency services (Fire, Police, Child Protection Services, etc.) in the general population.

Sitike can also provide confidential services to Town of Colma employees through EAP benefits/private pay sliding-scale services.

Sitike was not a grant recipient in FY23-24. In FY23-24, Sitike served 14 residents from the Town of Colma, as well as other residents that report being unhoused.

Located in North San Mateo County, Sitike is in a prime, accessible location. Our programs and services are accessible to Town of Colma residences because: we offer flexible services (in-person, telehealth, telephone, in the community), our offer quality programs with demonstrated results, and we work diligently to meet the cultural needs of our constituents.

We often host free, informational and educational workshops that residents of the Town of Colma would benefit from including Mental Health First Aid, Recovery Happens, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, etc.

Our services are listed county wide and are listed in all directories. We have a following on social medical and offer a quarterly newsletter in an effort to increase our visibility and accessibility in the community. We are also listed in all state level directories including Atlas, CAD PT, and others.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

The President's Innovation Fund (PIF) is an initiative designed to support creativity and innovation at Skyline College. Faculty, Staff, Students and Administrators are encouraged to "Dream Out Loud" and propose ideas that will support the college's Mission - Vision - Values.

The primary provider of the funds is the President's Council, a group of dedicated community members committed to actively supporting Skyline College. The President's Council raises financial support for the President's Innovation Fund by hosting the President's Breakfast every spring. These funds will go toward the funds raised at the breakfast in 2025 for granting to projects in the 25-26 academic year.

The funds will be used to create a mini-grant process to fund innovative ideas from Faculty, Staff, Students and Administrators.

Examples of grants funded are:

Critical Global Citizenship Education
Current global education prepares students to thrive in the market economy but does not interrogate colonialism and capitalism as root causes of global inequities. This project aims to address that gap while connecting with our college's mission, Citizenship Student Learning Outcomes, and the Civic Mindset portion of the People's College Initiative. We will implement programs that complement the curriculum, foster dialogue and engagement across disciplines, and bring the campus community together in a shared experience. Programs will include talks, film screenings, and art projects around topics such as belongingness, humanization of current historical events, social and ecological justice, and critical citizenship.

Digital Textbook Loan Program
The high cost of textbooks is an equity issue and barrier to student enrollment and success. Although the Skyline College Library offers short loans of print textbooks and the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning is at the forefront of promoting Open Education Resources, barriers persist. Now, new software will help the Library lift those barriers by making digital copies or chapters of textbooks available to students.

Called Alma-Digital, this software can integrate these digital assets into our catalog where they will be available for registered students to download for free regardless of location. This simple solution will reduce costs, increase enrollment, and contribute to academic success for our students.

organization's services or programs; and
Each year about 22.6% of the 15,000 students list Colma/Daly City as their residence.

They receive services at Skyline College located at 3300 College Drive, San Bruno, CA.

Skyline College does extensive outreach and community engagement by outreaching to High Schools, participating in community events, and digital advertising. Skyline College uses social media to connect with residents in the region.

We used the 23-24 funds from Colma and combined them with the breakfast proceeds (total of $90,000) to support ten innovative projects on campus including:

1. The Fall Musical

2. Teach Palestine Speaker Series

3. Barbering, Cosmetology & Esthetics Enrichment Symposium

4. Digitize Student Newspaper

5. Sustainability is for Everyone

6. Digital Textbook Loan Program

7. Critical Global Citizenship Education

8. Cultural Immersion Program

9. RIDE Conference

10. Black and Brown Scholars
We believe these projects will make a significant positive impact on campus life and student success.

Report to the
Town of Colma

President’s Innovation Fund Projects
The $4,000 grant from the Town of Colma was put toward our President’s Innovation Fund (PIF) projects. The PIF is an initiative designed to support creativity and innovation at Skyline College. Faculty, Classified Professionals and Administrators are encouraged to “Dream Out Loud” and propose ideas that will support the college’s Mission - Vision – Values as well as our most recent Education Master Plan. The primary provider of the funds is the President’s Council, a group of dedicated community members committed to actively supporting Skyline College. The President’s Council raises financial support for the President's Innovation Fund by hosting the President’s Breakfast every spring. This year, a total of $90,000 was raised in support which includes the $4,000 from the Town of Colma. Projects funded for the 2024-2025 academic year include the following:

• Black and Brown Scholars - Supporting Men of Color Experiences Educational systems were not designed with our Black and Brown Scholars in mind so to systematically strip their culture and authenticity for the sake of assimilating into “college culture” disrupts their ability to see themselves worthy in academic environments. Our Black and Brown Scholars bring so many assets to school: leadership, tenacity, strong relationship building, networking, entrepreneurship, community, and family. This project is rooted and aligned with Skyline College's commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in creating conditions that honors our Black and Brown Scholars. This transformative approach to building communities allows the opportunity for equitable change, not only in the lives of the students, but also the lives of their future families and communities.

• The Black Educators Mentorship and Support (BEAMS) Program At Skyline College, we believe in the importance of diversity and inclusion in education. Unfortunately, the lack of Black representation in our faculty can make it challenging for our Black students to feel fully supported and connected to our college community. This is why we are excited to propose the Black Educators Mentorship and Support (BEAMS) Program, a unique opportunity to address the dearth of Black educators at Skyline College and achieve equity goals outlined in the college’s equity and master plans. Through mentorship, networking, and training, BEAMS aims to create a pathway for Black graduate students to become successful community college educators and leaders, deepening the relationships between Skyline College and our local four-year colleges and universities and creating a pool of skilled Black educators who are prepared for teaching positions at Skyline College. It also gives faculty mentors an opportunity to share their expertise, enhance their leadership skills, and make a meaningful impact on education's future.

Report to theTown of Colma

• Critical Global Citizenship Education
Current global education prepares students to thrive in the market economy but does not interrogate the root causes of global inequities. This project aims to address that gap while connecting with our college's mission, Community Engagement Student Learning Outcomes, and Strategic Goal 4 of the Educational Master Plan - to cultivate civic-mindedness to empower self and strengthen society. We will implement programs that complement the curriculum, foster dialogue and engagement across disciplines, and bring the campus community together in a shared experience. Programs will include the Human Library, a film screening, a poetry event, an art workshop, and a student competition around topics such as belongingness, global stories, and sustainability.

• Cultural Immersion Program
The International Student Program (ISP) will continue the cultural immersion program designed for all international students on campus so that they can continue to socialize and maintain the community/support system that has been developed. Students appreciate the opportunity to bond outside of class time while participating in activities synonymous with American culture such as college tours, mini-golf, and baseball games. The continued engagement of international students through campus activities and who have bonded with faculty and staff members will ensure that persistence rates for international students continue to remain high.

• Digital Textbook Loan Program
The high cost of textbooks is an equity issue and barrier to student success. The Skyline College Library's Digital Textbook Loan Program makes digital copies of high- demand textbooks available to students in a copyright-safe manner. From fall 2022 to the present, we've provided 885 students with free access to more than 90 digitized textbooks. We plan to expand this service to include all electronically-available textbooks in one central location, resulting in increased access and reduced costs for students, and thereby contributing to their overall academic success.

• Fall Musical Project
We would like to expand our musical theater offerings through a Fall Musical Project, providing Skyline College students with a fall semester musical theater production focused on contemporary social issues. We plan to collaborate with related campus clubs/programs/services to raise awareness through special forums and/or benefit performances. This project is part of our post-pandemic enrollment recovery effort to help rebuild our in-person performing arts enrollment. Performances will take place in our Theater and strive for professional production values to attract students to our Music and Dance programs.

• RIDE Conference
Skyline College recently held the 2nd Annual R.I.D.E. Conference, a place-based Lowrider studies conference. The event’s focus was education through the lens of lowriding culture. Employing multiple modalities, disciplines, and topics the conference ~ Skyline College

Report to theTown of Colma

was very successful in the service of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and community engagement. The conference successfully served its purpose, and the planning for the 2025 event has begun. Looking to the future of the program, the planning indicates that there is demand and necessity to move from the half-day model to a full day of conference programming.

• Teach Palestine Speaker Series
The Teach Palestine Speaker Series highlights the history and experiences of SWANA (South West Asia North Africa) communities within the United States and in a global context. The series will consist of lectures, workshops, film screenings, poetry/cultural events by scholars and community-activist guest speakers who will engage students in global discussions and cross-cultural dialogue. The series will fill a gap in Skyline College’s educational programming, professional development, and interracial coalition- building towards social justice, which currently lacks the presence of SWANA and Palestinian students, despite the Bay Area being home to the second largest Palestinian community in the United States.

Page 1 of 6 ends

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:

Our values are student success, equity, community, and integrity. We work in partnership with parents, teachers, PTA’s, advocacy groups and school administrators to determine what initiatives and areas of funding are most needed. Our funding request will support the following two categories:

Category A: Providing shelter, food, or clothing to persons in need of the necessities of life: our programs provide funding to children who are newcomers(recent immigrants) or extremely low income so that they can thrive in the school system. This funding is provided directly to address student’s specific needs and also through supporting a new school district sponsored resource room.

Category C: Educating and engaging residents through a variety of programs described in the next section that help students and families understand the school system and develop a sense of belonging in our community.

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

We are requesting $20,000 in general operating support to fund a range of programs in the upcoming school year for example:

Public purpose category A:

Provide shelter , food, or clothing to persons in need of the Necessities of Life
Initiatives to address critical student needs: shelter/food/clothing ● Resource Fund - to provide newcomers with basic necessities such as shoes, coats, and household items directly to families in need. We supported over 80 students this year and hope to support 100 in 2024-2025. The most popular items purchased were clothing: uniform clothing, jackets, pajamas and shoes. Students cannot learn when they sleep in the same clothes they wear to school day in and day out. We also purchased bedding, pillows and even a mattress for a middle school student who was sleeping on a garage floor. SSFUSD School community liaisons work directly with the students and are able to use these funds to purchase items that will support each individual student’s needs.
● SSFUSD Community Resource Center - SSFUSD is opening a resource center to support families in need. We envision the SSF Ed Foundation supporting their efforts by funding bulk purchases of basic needs that can be distributed to students and families.

We expect to develop this project and funding priorities more as the Resource Center becomes more established this school year.

Public purpose category C: Educate and engage residents Initiatives to increase a sense of belonging and community for underrepresented students
● English language development (ELD) student soccer club - district co-ed soccer club team for English Language learners. All students participating from South San Francisco High School are part of the ELD program and are not able to play on the regular school teams. The funding provided uniforms, cleats, equipment and a coaching stipend. The purpose of this program was to provide opportunities for newcomer students to strengthen their community ties, improve attendance, and feel a sense of

Page 2 of 6 ends

accomplishment at school. We are very proud that the team won the league championship in their first year. They are excited to play again next year and we hope to fund 2 seasons.
● Baden Continuation High School field trip - provides increased access to learning outside the classroom by cultivating funds for engaging field trips and a year end celebration for Baden Continuation High School students San Mateo County Parks. In the fall Baden students will participate in a full day Ropes Course where they will focus on teamwork, leadership and accomplishing goals. This project was funded last year by a grant from the San Mateo County Parks Foundation but they have not released a grant RFP as of this application submission.

Address Literacy needs
● Inclusive reading materias/Spanish language library books- in 2024-2025 we plan to be more targeted in our spending to support schools with limited resources and provide spanish language books. If fundraising allows we will increase funding for this program to again provide books to all schools.
● Support for YEEE! (Youth Empowerment, Early education and Employment program through San Mateo County Office of Education)- The San Mateo County Office of Education held a program in the summer of 2024 that trained recent graduates and high school students in literacy instruction during summer school programs at SSFUSD. The funds supported a very small part of this program. We hope to fund a larger portion in the future.

Family Education and Community Building
● Middle School Family Education and support for Kinder Night - We are in talks with SSFUSD about planning another middle school event this year and possibly supporting the SSF Kindergarten Readiness Night by providing funding for food, speakers and school supply giveaways. We hope to have more attendees and stronger partnerships in planning with the school district in the future.
● Support for Parent Cafes (parent support/education groups at Title 1 elementary schools (including Sunshine Gardens) - SSFUSD School and community liaisons have been trained to run parent support groups in the 2023-2024 school year. The groups, called Parent Cafes, help strengthen school communities, develop leaders and provide parenting education in a supportive environment. They have been very successful and SSFUSD plans to expand the groups this school year. The Education Foundation hopes to support Parent Cafes by providing a budget for food, speakers and other incentives to encourage parents to attend.

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year , provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

Our initiatives line up very closely with categories A and C and for that reason we are requesting general funding that we can apply to all of our programs rather than limiting the funding to supporting one individual program or initiative of the foundation. In our first year of operation we were able to fundraise over $70,000 through the initial excitement around the organization. In our second year, our small board focused on executing our initiatives and building our volunteer network but unfortunately we were only able to fundraise about $12,000. In our third year we

Page 3 of 6 ends

hope to focus on expanding our initiatives as well as building a network of financial partners, businesses and grant funding sources now that we have shown the impact of our foundation to benefit students in need.

6. Describe the benefit to the T own derived from funding your organization:

Colma students attend SSFUSD. They and their loved ones will benefit from having their basic needs met, improved inclusiveness, sense of belongingness, literacy, engagement, and love for learning that our programs aim to foster . Quality of schools is a top priority for residents and potential future residents.

The SSF Education Foundation has the ability to reach all families in SSFUSD and many local residents without students in the district. We will publicize the T own’s support for our programs in our communications, presentations and on our website. We also included the T own’s support in our annual report which is distributed to thousands of people.

7. Describe the following:

A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
Our organization supports students who attend schools in the South San Francisco Unified School District. SSFUSD includes 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, 1 adult school and several preschool programs. 4 of those schools are Colma schools because their boundaries include parts of the T own of Colma: Buri Buri Elementary, Sunshine Gardens Elementary, Alta Loma Middle School and El Camino High School. Also, the new housing developments on McClellan and Mission Road fall within the boundaries of SSFUSD. In 2023-2024 there were 5 students from 5 households from Colma attending SSFUSD schools.

B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization’s services or programs; and
Colma residents can receive services at SSFUSD schools and the Kindergarten Readiness Fair is held at the SSF main library.

C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.

Our organization connects with all families with students in the school district through emails, flyers, presentations and tabling at school and community events. We have participated in several community resource fairs held at school sites and local community centers. This year we are launching a business fundraising drive that will provide additional options for small and large community businesses to support our efforts and be recognized as contributors.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2023-24 contribution was used:

In 2023-2024 we requested funds for a specific project: The School Library Book Project project provided over 900 new library books for all 15 schools in SSFUSD for a total cost of

RE: SSF Education Foundation Grant Report
Dear Abigail Dometita,
The South San Francisco Education Foundation is pleased to provide this grant report for the Town of Colma. We thank the Town for their generosity in providing this opportunity to benefit children and families in our community.

Grant Report
(i) Describes the results of the program or project funded by the grant; The School Library Book Project was funded jointly by the Town of Colma grant and the SSF Education Foundation. The project provided over 800 new library books for all 15 schools in SSFUSD for a total cost of $13,500: the Town of Colma grant of $5,500 and the SSF Education Foundation providing $8,000. The foundation team worked with the school librarians and administrators to pick books with languages, main characters, themes and settings representative of each school community. School libraries do not usually have a fixed budget from year to year so they rely on book fair fundraisers, donations and occasional school funds to purchase books.
(ii) Evaluates the results of the program or project funded by the grant School librarians, students and teachers were thrilled to receive new books. The Education Foundation either purchased books that the school selected and delivered them to the schools or gave the schools a check for librarians to use to purchase books through the school’s textbook suppliers. The books that were purchased were labeled and put in circulation immediately and students have been enjoying them since early spring.

Many of the schools were overjoyed to get the new books but one school stood out in particular as having a very high need for library books. Baden High School is a continuation school for students who are either expelled or are unable to stay on the path to graduation at traditional high school. The students at Baden are at high risk for homelessness, low socioeconomic status, failure to graduate high school, and a high proportion of English language learners. The

school does not have an official library. The books have been transformative for many students at Baden. Principal Seema Prasaad shared just one experience from a student at Baden:
“A student contacted her counselor over the weekend and was having difficulties with personal issues and was struggling. The counselor asked if she had taken a book home and she had so the counselor suggested she take her book and go to the park and "get lost in your book for a while". The student took the suggestion and texted back later in the afternoon with a picture of the book that she finished in about an hour and she felt better.

We've seen students take home books for the weekend and during school breaks and come back excited to share their thoughts with teachers and classmates. Students are also recommending books to each other and enjoy choosing books for our next order.

We have a community of readers at Baden and are so grateful for the support.” In evaluating this program we feel that all schools continue to have a need for more representative books. In the future we hope to continue to allocate funds to support literacy in schools and target our efforts towards students and families with the highest needs. ■aden

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

Colma residents are already feeling the impacts of climate change. Sustainable San Mateo County helps your town with these core programs:
•Indicators Report - An in-depth study of one critical sustainability issue affecting San Mateo County ,Sustainability Dashboard - Tracks sustainability progress by local cities and the county ,Sustainability Ideas Bank- Shares proven solutions for accelerating sustainability with local cities and businesses The Indicators Report has been tracking key sustainability-related metrics in the county for more than 20 years, focusing each year on a specific sustainability topic of interest to local cities, including case studies, deep research, historical context and policy recommendations. For SSMC's 2024 Indicators Report, our key theme will be on EV Charging Infrastructure, which will focus on how local jurisdictions can expand access to EV chargers to accelerate the transition to clean transportation. This is one of the most-requested topics by city leaders. Providing convenient and accessible EV charging options for all residents, including renters and those in multifamily dwellings, can encourage more people to switch to electric vehicles, accelerating the transition to cleaner transportation. By enabling more people to drive EVs, cities can significantly cut down on emissions from traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, clean transportation would contribute to reducing urban air pollution, leading to healthier living environments and improved public health outcomes.

The Sustainability Dashboard empowers local governments, community organizations, residents and media with comprehensive sustainability metrics for each of San Mateo County's 20 cities and unincorporated areas. These metrics are part of 11 key sustainability areas or dimensions, which touch upon all "3 E's" of sustainability: environment, economy and social equity. In conjunction with our Sustainability Ideas Bank, which provides solutions to increase sustainability, this is a useful tool for city leaders to track their own sustainability performance over time and equips them with the resources to both get access to and share effective sustainability solutions (policies, ordinances, programs, processes, contracting language and more). The Dashboard is a highly collaborative and evolving project, with a high degree of input from all the cities' sustainability managers.

SSMC's Sustainability Ideas Bank offers proven, impactful sustainability solutions to local cities and businesses that have been implemented successfully elsewhere. Each solution includes resources and contact information so people can get questions answered by those who have paved the way. When we meet with city leaders, we introduce them to some of the solutions that other cities have adopted to make sustainability progress.

Funds will support program managers who coordinate volunteer researchers, writers, graphic designers, printing and dissemination of reports. In addition, these funds will help cover the costs of launch events for these three programs. These launch events are currently offered to all residents free of charge. For some programs, such as the Dashboard, we invite city leaders and staff to special presentations that are open only to those invited.

In addition, city and county leaders have asked if we might bring sustainability managers together to discuss key issues they are working on, to enable them to collaborate on solutions. During our Dashboard meeting with Colma leaders in past years, they expressed interest in collaborating with other cities on how to speed up installation of more electric vehicle charging stations.

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

The request we are making this year is less than the request we made last year, but it is more than what was given by the Town of Colma last year. SSMC's annual budget has increased due to the additional resources we've dedicated to supporting city staff and council members through research, data collection, reporting, consultations and fostering collaboration. We recently had a productive meeting with Colma staff members and look forward to ongoing collaboration. Last year we requested $5000 and received $1000. This year, we are requesting $3000, a contribution that is in line with similarly sized and resourced communities.

Some of the ways the Town of Colma and its residents benefit from our program goals and accomplishments include:
•Raising awareness about and engagement with residents to support the towns sustainability programs and goals
•Providing intelligence to town leaders as to their sustainability performance in key sustainability areas and identifying ways to augment sustainability efforts (via our Dashboard Project and our collection of sustainability solutions in the Sustainability Ideas Bank) •Sustainability education via our virtual Happy Hours, newsletters, biogs and videos •Continuing to partner with local government and community organizations to promote sustainable policies and practices, including zero net energy, electrification of new buildings, EV infrastructure, waste reduction, social equity, affordable housing and new transportation options •We also write letters of support for local jurisdictions when their proposals for funding or advocacy align with the values and goals of Sustainable San Mateo County. • To help accelerate sustainability, SSMC advocates for programs and policies that align with our values, and we partner with other organizations to magnify our mutual efforts. Recent efforts have included advocacy for equity in local mass transit with the Transportation Equity Allied Movement Coalition (TEAMC) and supporting electrification of buildings and electric vehicle infrastructure with the Campaign for Fossil Free Buildings in Silicon Valley.

7. Describe the following:

C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2023-24 contribution was used:

organization's services or programs; and
Sustainable San Mateo County's work is intended to serve the entire population of San Mateo County, including all of Colma's residents and businesses. The information our organization provides is used by residents, researchers and leaders in government, business and the nonprofit world.

We reach people in Colma through our website, our virtual Happy Hour programs on different sustainability topics, in-person programs and workshops, distribution of informational handouts, and booths at local fairs and festivals throughout the county. All of your residents are invited to our annual Awards Celebration and launch events where we introduce our yearly Indicators Report, Dashboard and Ideas Bank. Each year, more than 20,000 individuals visit our website and hundreds of people participate directly in our programs.

We have 3,100 newsletter subscribers on our mailing list, 900 lnstagram followers; the majority of these are individuals who live and/or work in San Mateo County. In addition, we consistently post on our Facebook, lnstagram and Linked In accounts and are making a deliberate effort to further develop SSMC's social media presence. Our social media followers have continued to grow over the last year and we continuously keep up our efforts to reach younger audiences.

During FY 2023-24, Colma's contribution helped support our 2023 Indicators Report, "The Well-Being of Children, Youth and Families in San Mateo County." The 158-page report was unveiled October 26, 2023 and was held at the CZI Community Space in Redwood City. This was SSMC's 27th Annual Indicators Report launch which revealed some surprising facts about pressures facing families in the county. The event showcased experts, such as County Executive Mike Callagy, discussing the challenges encountered by our youngest residents and their families, and proposing solutions to ensure a better future for them. Other speakers included Simona Vallone, SSMC's Indicators Report Program Manager; Heather Cleary, CEO of Peninsula Family Service; Dr. Kismet Baldwin-Santana, the county's new Health Officer; and Tracy Weatherby, Vice President of Strategy and Advocacy for Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. We had 121 registered attendees with about 80 actual attendees.

The report can be accessed at https:/ /bit.ly/2023IndicatorsReport.

9. List contributions requested and received from other cities in FY 2023-24 and requested or expected in FY 2024-25:

Yes __________ No ______________

If yes, please provide details.

Colma's $1,000 contribution to the Indicators Program in FY 2023-24 represented less than 2 percent of our program funds for the Indicators Report, and less than 1/2 percent of the total revenue for the organization. Please note that the direct program costs include only the direct expenses of program staffing and event costs. Indirect costs such as technology (website and computers) and supplies, outreach and the Executive Director (whose Indicators program support responsibilities represent about 30 percent of her time), are listed as direct operating expenses. Program revenues raised that exceed the direct program costs support general operating expenses, as do donations and sponsorship contributions from businesses and individuals, and the proceeds from various fund raisers, including our annual auction. Compared to our other city contributors, Colma's FY 2023-24 $1,000 contribution is situated in the lower range (11 cities and the County of San Mateo contributed at higher levels, five at the $1,000 level). Currently, all but three cities/towns in San Mateo County fund the Indicators Report Program. We respectfully ask that for FY 2024- 25, the Town of Colma consider supporting us at the full amount requested, $3,000. This is the minimum amount that SSMC needs to cover the cost of providing our annual Indicators Report and ongoing policy updates to Colma.

TOWN OF COLMA GRANT REPORT
Sustainable San Mateo County
FY 2023-24
RESULTS:

Sustainable San Mateo County (SSMC) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been engaging local residents and leaders in advancing sustainability since 1992. We are not affiliated with or funded by the county's Sustainability Department, and we depend on Colma and our other 19 local cities and towns for support, notably for funding our “Indicators for a Sustainable San Mateo County Reports” program. These in-depth reports compile information about many interdependent issues into a single source, allowing local decision makers, city leaders and residents to monitor progress toward sustainability goals. Through these Indicators Reports, as well as our other programs, events and our broad community outreach, SSMC raises awareness of local concerns grounded in facts and proposes solutions to effectively address these. We encourage you to check out our website at: www.sustainablesanmateo.org and our social media channels for more information about our organization and our positive impact on the ground.

Over the last few years, SSMC has developed - and continues to develop - a suite of highly integrated programs and services to assist Colma and the other San Mateo County cities and towns accelerate their sustainability efforts to reach their ambitious goals, while also becoming more resilient as they increasingly have to address the negative consequences of climate change. These programs include our Indicators Reports program and our Sustainability Dashboard (focus on metrics), the Sustainability Ideas Bank (focus on solutions and tools to strengthen sustainability performance), our annual Awards Celebration (focus on celebrating inspiring leaders to show what’s possible) and our advocacy efforts to promote ordinances, policies and programs in alignment with our vision of a sustainable future for everyone in San Mateo County (focus on implementation).

Our online Indicators Report demonstrates our work throughout the grant year:
● SSMC’s 2023 Indicators Report on the Well-Being of Children, Youth and Families provides an overview of many components of this support system. By examining Sustainable
San Mateo County
Economy. Equity. Environment.
historical data trends and comparing San Mateo County’s performance with state and national metrics, this report sheds light on progress made and persisting challenges. To this end, this report not only offers an analysis of various indicators but also provides real-world examples of successful initiatives and programs that have made a positive impact. These examples serve as inspiration and models for future programs. Providing children and families with a secure, healthy environment now through education, health, housing and child care programs ensures that they have the capabilities, knowledge and resilience to build and support a sustainable society in the future. When children thrive, the whole community benefits.
● For 2024, our key theme will be on EV Charging Infrastructure, which will focus on how local jurisdictions can expand access to EV chargers to accelerate the transition to clean transportation. This is one of the most-requested topics by city leaders. Providing convenient and accessible EV charging options for all residents, including renters and those in multifamily dwellings, can encourage more people to switch to electric vehicles, accelerating the transition to cleaner transportation. By enabling more people to drive EVs, cities can significantly cut down on emissions from traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, clean transportation would contribute to reducing urban air pollution, leading to healthier living environments and improved public health outcomes.

As in the past, we will also examine this timely and important topic from the perspective of social equity. In-depth research, insightful data analysis and maps, as well as current and relevant content for the report on this key theme are currently being generated.

Once finalized, the information will be provided on our website and shared broadly with the general public during an in-person launch event scheduled for October 24th. ● Other past online Indicators Reports can be accessed on our website:
https://sustainablesanmateo.org/home/indicators/archive/ Recent reports can be searched using this tool: https://sustainablesanmateo.org/home/indicators-report-search/ ● In addition to the key theme, which is covered in depth, other indicators within the report remain fairly consistent year to year, and we present the most recently updated statistics on our website and/or update when necessary and feasible. ● With each update, SSMC typically produces a brief printed summary of selected highlights. Mostly, we plan to share electronic versions of these summaries. We email them to city clerks throughout San Mateo County for distribution to each city’s staff, Council Members and commissioners.
● We’d like to take the opportunity to remind you that the latest revisions to the Sustainability Dashboard are now posted on our website here. The Sustainability Dashboard empowers local governments, community organizations, residents and media with comprehensive sustainability metrics for each of San Mateo County’s 20 cities and unincorporated areas. These metrics are part of 11 key sustainability areas or dimensions, which touch upon all “3 E’s” of sustainability: environment, economy and social equity. In conjunction with our Sustainability Ideas Bank, which provides solutions to increase sustainability, this is a useful tool for city leaders to track their own sustainability performance over time and equips them with the resources to both get access to and share effective sustainability solutions (policies, ordinances, programs, processes, contracting language and more). The Dashboard is a highly collaborative and evolving project, with a high degree of input from all the cities’ sustainability managers.

Click HERE to use the new interactive sustainability Dashboard tool. ● City funding also supports our outreach, which includes digital newsletters, social media, presentations to groups and elected officials, tabling events and, since April 2020, virtual Happy Hours focusing on a different sustainability topic presented by subject matter experts. Event pictures, blogs and slides are posted on our website.

Videos from past events can be found on our YouTube channel and are shared through our email newsletters and other social media channels.

EVALUATION:
● SSMC Events: This year we have hosted several public events. On February 23, we launched our Sustainability Ideas Bank at the CZI Community Space where we met with over 40 sustainability government officials, city and county team members, nonprofit leaders and volunteers. On April 10, we held SSMC’s 25th Awards Celebration, honoring five San Mateo County sustainability champions and two green building projects. This event included a reception, dinner, live auction, and inspiring stories about local sustainability heroes. On April 30, we hosted the 2nd annual virtual Youth for Climate Policy event. On June 18, we hosted an online Happy Hour event called “E-bikes:

Transforming Our Cities For Good.”
Below are the numbers of the people who attended our recent events:
● Sustainability Ideas Bank Launch: 52 registered and 45 attendees ● 2024 Annual Awards Celebration: approximately 300 attendees ● Youth for Climate Policy event: 65 registered and 40 unique participants ● E-bikes: Transforming Our Cities for Good: 47 city and nonprofit leaders registered, 22 attended
Our 2023 Indicators Report Fall Launch event took place on October 26, 2023. This was SSMC’s 27th Annual Indicators Report launch which revealed some surprising facts about pressures facing families in the county. The event showcased experts, such as County Executive Mike Callagy, discussing the challenges encountered by our youngest residents and their families, and proposing solutions to ensure a better future for them.

Other speakers included Simona Vallone, SSMC’s Indicators Report Program Manager; Heather Cleary, CEO of Peninsula Family Service; Dr. Kismet Baldwin-Santana, the county’s new Health Officer; and Tracy Weatherby, Vice President of Strategy and Advocacy for Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. The event was held at the CZI Community Space in Redwood City. We had 121 registered attendees with about 80 actual attendees.

As a comparison, these numbers are in line with previous numbers and the target we were looking to reach (100 attendees). In 2022, we had 68 attendees with 90 registered. ----
In 2019, we had 110 attendees (we ended up being above full room capacity) and in 2018 we had about 100 attendees. Launches were held virtually for 2020 and 2021.

In addition to our own events, we continue to seek opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships, as evidenced by our lining up five cosponsors, all like-minded organizations, for our Youth for Climate Policy event and for tabling at community events. We are happy to be part of our cities’ and towns’ green festivals and events when time and resources permit and encourage Colma to let us know if and when our presence might be requested.

Please note that we do not currently collect address information from event attendees and so are not able to gauge the participation from any one jurisdiction, though we continuously look for ways to widely promote these events, notably by campaigns via social media (Facebook, Nextdoor, Instagram, etc.), both paid and unpaid, and press releases and advertisements in the online press (The Patch and the Daily Journal), as well as cross-advertising with other nonprofits with a similar mission, and many cities publish our announcements in their newsletters. We regularly perform post-event evaluations to gauge how well the speakers and information presented were received, as well as whether actionable insights were gained and suggestions for future events.

Our staff reviews the responses to continuously improve the report and events. ● Website and Online Communications: In addition to posting our Indicators Reports on our website, we share them through our email newsletters and social media channels. We have over 3,100 email subscribers representing over 2,600 households on our mailing list and close to 900 Instagram followers; the majority of these are individuals who live and/or work in San Mateo County. In addition, we consistently post on our Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts and are making a deliberate effort to further develop SSMC’s social media presence. Our social media followers have continued to grow over the last year and we continuously keep up our efforts to reach younger audiences.

● Printed Summaries: Executive summary reports of the Indicators Report were extensively distributed electronically to all our local governments, including Colma, as well as links to the full report listed on our website. Our social media outreach was very robust and we also distributed our links to our key partners (Thrive, Acterra, the Citizens Environmental Council, Chambers of Commerce, etc.). Contacts at several cities have informed us that their staff eagerly review the materials, and many report recipients have remarked on the quality of the content and design.
● Presentations and Community Outreach: SSMC’s Indicators Report is also featured in all of our community outreach and public presentations. For 2023, in addition to the full report, the executive summary report was created as a vehicle to communicate key findings rapidly and easily. All of these documents are available to all for free on our website. We offer presentations to community groups upon request and we describe all our key programs, including the Indicators Report, while speaking at City Council meetings on matters related to sustainability.

We also have been historically sharing Indicators Report summaries and information at events such as our annual Awards Dinners, at community fairs (such as Earth Day events and sustainability job fairs at local colleges and universities) and sustainability events with partner organizations. Additionally, SSMC regularly participates in several collaborative efforts which help inform our Indicators work, including, but not limited to the Fossil Free Buildings in Silicon Valley campaign (led by local nonprofit Menlo Spark) and C/CAG’s Resource Management and Climate Protection Committee (RMCP).

FUNDING:

Colma’s $1,000 contribution to the Indicators Program in FY 2023-24 represented less than 2 percent of our program funds for the Indicators Report, and less than 1/2 percent of the total revenue for the organization. Please note that the direct program costs include only the direct expenses of program staffing and event costs. Indirect costs such as technology (website and computers) and supplies, outreach and the Executive Director (whose Indicators program support responsibilities represent about 30 percent of her time), are listed as direct operating expenses. Program revenues raised that exceed the direct program costs support general operating expenses, as do donations and sponsorship contributions from businesses and individuals, and the proceeds from various fundraisers, including our annual auction.

Compared to our other city contributors, Colma’s FY 2023-24 $1,000 contribution is situated in the lower range (11 cities and the County of San Mateo contributed at higher levels, five at the $1,000 level). Currently, all but three cities/towns in San Mateo County fund the Indicators Report Program.

We would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation to the Town of Colma for its steady support of our programs over the past few years. We deeply appreciate Colma’s ongoing and long-time support, which allows us to work toward fulfilling our vision of a sustainable future for everyone in San Mateo County. We rely upon your support to allow us to broaden and deepen our programs and give sustainability the voice and attention it truly deserves. As we all continue to experience firsthand the increased negative impacts of climate change, it’s important that we act now. We respectfully ask that for FY 2024-25, the Town of Colma consider supporting us at the full amount requested, $3,000. This is the minimum amount that SSMC needs to cover the cost of providing our annual Indicators Report and ongoing policy updates to Colma.

We look forward to your renewed, important support for the next fiscal year and to partnering with Colma on future events.

Thank you again.

Sincerely yours,

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor
and Members of the City Council
FROM: Farhad Mortazavi, City Planner
Kathleen Gallagher, Sustainability Manager
VIA: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2024
SUBJECT: Solar Power Purchase Agreement for Town Hall

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1, Select either Option A or B below for the solar array system:

A. The 50-kilowatt (kW) option which is rooftop only
B. The 69-kilowatt (kW) option which is rooftop and a small carport on the far west side of the parking lot (Staff’s Recommendation)

2. Adopt the following:

RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE

SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (PPA) FOR THE SELECTED SOLAR ARRAY AT TOWN HALL PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES 15301 AND 15303

COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The adoption of the Resolution is consistent with the Council value of vision and responsibility because it enables the Town to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, generate clean, local renewable energy, meet one of the Town’s Climate Action Plan 2030 programs and save over $400,000 over the PPA term.

BACKGROUND
On April 24, 2024, City Council heard a presentation regarding solar installations at Town Hall and the Police Department which detailed cost savings, the power purchase agreement (PPA) for both projects, and suggestions for minimizing solar array visual impact at Town Hall. City Council approved the PPA for the Police Department and directed staff to further reduce the solar system size and visual impact for solar at Town Hall. Staff collaborated with Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) and their engineer McMillan Electric Company to meet the direction provided by City Council to reduce visibility of solar arrays and selected two effective alternatives which eliminate all solar carports in front of Town Hall. Both alternatives meet the ITEM 4
Staff Report Solar Power Purchase Agreement Page 2 of 5 objectives of providing clean, local renewable energy, saving the Town over $400,000 with no upfront costs, meeting one of the Town’s Climate Action Plan 2030 programs. Staff will be presenting both alternatives for City Council and providing a recommendation.

ANALYSIS
Staff, PCE and McMillan discussed solar array alternatives to meet City Council direction as well as researched Town Hall energy usage to isolate Town Hall energy usage, excluding EV Go to be offset by solar. This analysis was completed with the intent that EV Go energy usage would eventually be removed from Town Hall’s meter and allowed smaller solar array alternatives.

Staff focused on alternatives that eliminated the need for solar carports in front of Town Hall in response to City Council’s direction and focused on two alternatives where the smaller solar array alternative does not include a solar carport and uses rooftop solar only, the second alternative includes a combination of a small carport on the far west side of the parking lot and rooftop solar. As discussed in previous council meetings, electricity to meet facility electrical loads is purchased in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh). The Town receives a PPA rate “at cost” by PCE to cover equipment, installation, maintenance, and administration cost, and this PPA rate is fixed for the 20-year term with no annual escalation rate. The Town currently pays a higher energy rate than the PPA rate which results in associated cost savings for the Town. Cost savings are expected to increase over time due to the avoided price increases in PG&E utility costs which are expected to rise 5% or more per year according to PG&E proposals submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission. The 50kW system size offsets building energy usage by 45% and the 69kW system size offsets building energy usage by 65% per building energy data. The following table provides a comparison of the two alternatives.

Staff Report Solar Power Purchase Agreement Page 4 of 5 Renderings of rooftop solar and carport with the 69kW alternative

REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the solar power purchase agreement (PPA) for the selected solar array, and staff further recommends that the larger (69kW) array be the selected alternative to enable the Town to maximize the value of solar, save an estimated $415,000, and meet one of the Town’s Climate Action Plan program objectives to generate clean, local, greenhouse gas free electricity. Additional reasons for this recommendation include the Town reducing the need for staff resources to manage a solar procurement process, design the solar array system, complete solar installation, operation, and system maintenance and allow the Town to benefit from the significant economies of scale and competitive pricing through PCE’s regional solar procurement program.

Staff Report Solar Power Purchase Agreement Page 5 of 5

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT
Resolution adoption will improve the Town’s sustainability by generating clean, local renewable energy at Town Hall and assist the Town in meeting one of the Climate Action Plan 2030 programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

FISCAL IMPACT
Cost savings of over $400,000 over the 20-year PPA term. Estimated $10,000 for solar installation construction management oversight, inspection, and administration.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in authorizing the PPA is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 15301 and 15303. With regard to 15301, the addition of solar panels and solar carports would be considered a minor alteration of an existing public facility involving negligible or no expansion of use as the panels and carport would be installed at existing government buildings in Town and it would not change the use of the building. With regard to 15303, the addition of solar panels and carports would also be considered exempt as the installation of small structures are exempt under that guideline.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives could include that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the solar power purchase agreement (PPA) for the smaller (50kW) solar array but staff is not recommending this option because it would result is offsetting less building energy usage, which is 45% building energy offset instead of 65% building energy offset by the recommended 69kW array, and reduce the value and benefit of solar to the Town by generating less clean, local, greenhouse gas free electricity.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, staff recommends City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the solar power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 69kW array to enable the Town to maximize the value of solar, save an estimated $415,000, and meet one of the Town’s Climate Action Plan program objectives to generate clean, local, greenhouse gas free electricity.

OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF COLMA

RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A

SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (PPA) FOR THE SELECTED SOLAR ARRAY AT TOWN HALL PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES 15301 AND 15303

1. Background.
(a) The Town of Colma has demonstrated its commitment to a sustainable and resilient future through adoption of its Climate Action Plan 2030 and original Climate Action Plan in 2013 and has implemented some energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation programs. The Town needs to continue implementation of sustainable programs that include adding solar installations to generate renewable energy to meet aggressive greenhouse gas reductions targets in the Town’s Climate Action Plan 2030. (b) The Town has worked collaboratively with Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) by participating in regional programs that assist the Town in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets. (c) The Town has participated in the previous solar collaborative procurement process for solar installation at the Colma Community Center and Police Department to generate renewable energy and implement one of its CAP 2030 programs to increase local renewable generation and reduce energy costs.
(d) A Community Choice Aggregation program such as Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) is a mechanism by which local governments assume responsibility for providing electrical power for residential and commercial customers in their jurisdiction in partnership with local commercial energy purveyors and owners of transmission and distribution facilities, which in the case of San Mateo County is Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
(e) The Town heard a presentation on April 24, 2024, and requested staff return with alternatives for a smaller and reduced solar array at Town Hall at a subsequent meeting. (f) The Town reviewed the solar array alternatives and details, the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for solar installation at the Town Hall and will participate in the program because of the benefits of cost savings, meeting one of its CAP 2030 programs to generate local renewable energy, and to provide the Town protection against rising energy rates.

2. Order
(a) The City Council hereby approves and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Solar Power Purchase Agreement for the Town Hall.

If changes to the System design are reasonably expected to lower the costs to Seller of engineering, constructing, installing, interconnecting, operating, maintaining, repairing and/or removing the System, Seller may, in its sole discretion, decrease the Contract Price and provide such updated Contract Price to Purchaser in an addendum to this Agreement.

c. System Repair and Maintenance. Seller may cause the suspension of delivery of electricity from the System to the Delivery Point for the purpose of causing the maintenance to and repairs of the System; provided that Seller shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interruption in service to the Purchaser and shall provide at least thirty (30) business days’ advance notice to Purchaser of any scheduled maintenance and repairs. Emergency maintenance and repairs may be performed in the absence of such notice if necessary to prevent harm to persons or property. Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and repairs shall be undertaken at Seller’s sole cost and expense, except that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable cost of any repairs or maintenance resulting from damage caused by Purchaser, its agents, employees or contractors.

d. System Outage Allowance. Upon Purchaser’s written request, Seller shall cause the System to be taken off-line for a total of forty-eight (48) daylight hours (as defined by the United States National Weather Service in the area where the System is located) during each Contract Year (each event an “Outage ” and the forty- eight (48) hour period the “Outage Allowance”). The Outage Allowance includes all Outage hours undertaken by Seller for maintenance or Exh. 3, p. 5

repairs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 6(c) or requested by Purchaser under this Section 6(d) (other than due to the fault or negligence of Seller). Purchaser’s request shall be delivered at least forty- eight (48) hours in advance. Purchaser is not obligated to accept or pay for electricity that could have been delivered by the System but for an Outage up to the annual Outage Allowance. If the aggregate hours for Outages, including, but not limited to Outages resulting from a tempora ry disconnection or removal pursuant to Section 6(f) , exceed the Outage Allowance in a given Contract Year and Purchaser has opted out of receiving retail electric generation service from Seller, Seller shall reasonably estimate the amount of electricity that would have been delivered to Purchaser during such excess Outages and Purchaser shall pay Seller for such amount in accordance with this Agreement.

e. Maintenance of Premises. Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises and Improvements in good condition and repair. Purchaser, to the extent within its reasonable control, (i) shall ensure that the Premises remains interconnected to the local Utility grid at all times; and (ii) shall not permit cessation of delivery of electric service to the Premises from the local Utility .

7. Miscellaneous Rights and Obligations of the Parties.

a. Access Rights. In consideration of and in order to effectuate the mutual covenants and terms of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby grants to Seller and to Seller’s agents, employees, contractors and subcontractors and the Utility (i) a non-exclusive license running with the Premises (the “Non-Exclusive License”) for access to, on, over, under and across the Premises from the Effective Date until the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (the “ License Term”), for the purposes of performing all of Seller’s obligations and enforcing all of Seller’s rights set forth in this Agreement and otherwise as required by Seller in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, including, but not limited to design, engineering, development, construction, installation, inspection, interconnection, testing, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the System and all incidental and related uses connected therewith . In addition to the foregoing, if the System shall be a ground -mounted System to be located within a secure, fenced area on the Premises, Purchaser hereby grants to Seller an exclusive, sub-licensable license running with the Premises (the “Exclusive License”, and together with the Non -Exclusive License, the “Licenses ”) for purposes of the installation, operation, use and maintenance of the System on such exclusively licensed area of the Premises during the License Term. Seller shall provide at least seventy-two (72) hours advance notice to Purchaser of any access required prior to the Commercial Operation Date; after the Commercial Operation Date notice shall be provided subject to Section 6(c) . Seller shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that when on the Premises during the License Term, it and its employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors comply with Purchaser’s site saf ety and security requirements , which are to be provided to Seller in writing within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date . During the License Term, Purchaser shall preserve and protect Seller’s rights under the Licenses and Seller’s access to the Premises and shall not interfere, or permit any third parties under Purchaser’s control to interfere , with such rights or access. Seller may record a customary memorandum of license in the land records respecting the Licenses.

Seller shall not directly or indirectly cause, create, incur, assume or allow to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Premises or the Improvements, other than those Liens which Seller is permitted by law to place on the Premises due to non-payment by Purchaser of amounts due under this Agreement. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party in writing of the existence of any such Lien following such Party’s discovery of same, and shall promptly (and in all events within thirty (30) days) cause the same to be discharged and released of record without cost to the other Party; provided, however, that each indemnifying Party has the right to contest any such Lien, so long as it provides a statutory bond or other reasonable assurances of payment that either removes such Lien from title to the affected property, or that assures that any adverse judgment with respect to such Lien shall be paid without affecting title to such property.

ii. Lien Indemnity . Each Party shall indemnify the other Party from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any Liens filed against such other Party’s property as a result of the indemnifying Party’s breach of its obligations under Section 7(f)(i).

8. Relocation of System. If, during the Term, Purchaser ceases to conduct operations at the Premises or vacates the Premises, the Premises have been destroyed, or the Purchaser is otherwise unable to continue to host the System or accept the electricity delivered by the System for any other reason (other than a Default Event by Seller), Purchaser shall propose in writing the relocation of the System, at Purchaser’s cost. Such proposal shall be practically feasible and preserve the economic value of this Agreement for Seller. The Parties shall seek to negotiate in good faith an agreement for the relocation of the System. Pending agreement on relocation of the System, Purchaser shall continue to make payments to Seller pursuant to Section 11(b)(i)(C).

9. Removal of System upon Termination or Expiration. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (provided Purchaser does not purchase the System pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 14(b)), Seller shall, at its expense (unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement), cause to be removed all of the tangible property comprising the System from the Premises with a targeted completion date that is no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Term. The portion of the Premises where the System is located shall be returned to substantially its original condition as is reasonably possible, except for ordinary wear and tear, including the removal of System mounting pads or other support structures, and repair and restoration of the roof and the roof membrane. Seller is required to cause to be repaired any and all damage to the Premises caused by removal of the System. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to remove or cause to be removed any support structures for the System which are affixed to and below the exposed surface of Purchaser’s Exh. 3, p. 7

structures or any below grade structures, including foundations and conduits, or any roads. If the System is installed on the roof of an Improvement, Seller’s warranties under Section 12(c)(i) shall apply, as applicable. Purchaser must provide sufficient access, space and cooperation as reasonably necessary to facilitate System removal. Purchaser shall comply with Section 7(c) and Section 13 until removal is complete. If Seller fails to cause the removal of the System within one hundred and eighty (180) days after expiration of the Term, Purchaser may, at its option, remove the System to a public warehouse and restore the Premises to its original condition (other than ordinary wear and tear) at Seller’s cost, provided that if Seller pays Purchaser for such costs, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for a Default Event by Seller.

10. Measurement.

a. Meter. The System’s electricity output during the Term shall be measured by Seller’s meter, which shall be a revenue grade meter that meets ANSI-C12.20 standards for accuracy (the “Meter”). Purchaser shall have access to the metered energy output data via the monitoring system caused to be installed and maintained by Seller as part of the System.

b. Meter Calibration. Seller shall cause the Meter to be calibrated in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may install, or cause to be installed, its own revenue -grade meter at the same location as the Meter. If there is a discrepancy between the data from Purchaser’s meter and the data from the Meter of greater than two percent (2%) over the course of a Contract Year, then Purchaser may request that Seller calibrate the Meter at Seller’s cost.

c. Internet Connection. At all times during the Term, Purchaser shall maintain and make available, at Purchaser’s cost:

i. A hard-wired ethernet port for connection to System equipment located within fifty (50) physical feet of the electrical room of the Premises; or, if such hard -wired port is not feasible, Wi- Fi available seven (7) days per week and twenty-four (24) hours per day;

ii. Information technology support services as needed to provide Internet connectivity via the connection described in Section 10(c)(i); and

iii. A dedicated IP address for System equipment.

If Purchaser does not maintain such Internet connection described above, Seller will not be able to cause the System to be monitored or provide the performance guaranty set forth on Exhibit 4. Further, if Seller is not able to monitor the System, Seller will be required to estimate the System’s power production for purposes of determining the monthly payment(s) for any such month in which the required Internet connection was not available.

d. Meter Testing. Purchaser may require Seller to cause the Meter to be tested once at any time during the Term at Seller’s cost (an “Initial Meter Test”). After the Initial Meter Test, Purchaser may request that Seller cause the Meter to be tested only upon Purchaser’s reasonable basis for belief that a Meter Inaccuracy (as defined below) exists, at Seller’s cost (a “Second Meter Test”). In the absence of a Meter Inaccuracy as demonstrated by a Second Meter Test, any future Meter testing shall be at Purchaser ’s sole cost and expense. If any Meter test demonstrates inaccuracy of the Meter of greater than two percent (2%) over the course of a Contract Year (a “ Meter Inaccuracy”), then Seller shall credit any overpayment by Purchaser against, or add any underpayment by Purchaser to, the next monthly invoice it provides to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to witness any Meter test.

11. Default, Remedies and Damages

The Purchaser Termination Payment determined under this Section 11(b)(iv) cannot be less than zero.

v. Severability of Remedies. If any remedy in Section 11(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in conflict with any statute, constitutional provision, regulation or other rule of law, or is otherwise held to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the other remedies herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. If any one or more of the provisions contained in Section 11(b) of this Exhibit 3 shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions contained in this Section 11(b) and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The Parties hereby declare that they each would have executed this Agreement and each and every other section hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections of this Section 11(b) may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable.

vi. Liquidated Damages. The Parties agree that, if Seller terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term pursuant to Section 11(b)( iv), actual damages would be difficult to ascertain, and the Purchaser Termination Payment determined in accordance with Section 11(b)(iv) is a reasonable approximation of the damages suffered by Seller as a result of early termination of this Agreement and is not a penalty.

If a Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b)(iii), or Section 11(b)(iv), then following such termination, Seller shall cause and shall have the right to cause the equipment constituting the System to be removed in compliance with Section 9 at the sole cost and expense of the Defaulting Party, provided, however that Seller shall not be required to cause the System to be removed following the occurrence of a Default Event by Purchaser, unless Purchaser has paid the Purchaser Termination Payment to Seller or pre-pays the cost of removal and restoration reasonably estimated by Seller.

i. Reservation of Rights. Except in the case of a termination under Section 11(b)(iii) or Section 11(b)(iv) and payment of a Termination Payment , if any, determined as provided therein, nothing in this Section 11 limits either Party’s right to pursue any remedy under this Agreement, at law or in equity, including with respect to the pursuit of an action for damages by reason of a breach or Default Event under this Agreement.

ii. Mitigation Obligation . Regardless of whether this Agreement is terminated for a Default Event, the Non - Defaulting Party must make reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages as the result of such Default Event; provided that such obligation shall not reduce Purchaser’s obligation to pay the full Purchaser Termination Payment set forth in Section 6 of Exhibit 1 following a Default Event by Purchaser.

iii. No Limitation on Payments. Nothing in this Section 11 excuses a Party’s obligation to make any payment when due under this Agreement, including with respect to payments for electricity that would have been delivered to Purchaser but for a Purchaser breach or Default Event.

In such event, such provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Year 20 88,421 84,000

B. If at the end of each successive Contract Year the AC electricity produced by the System as measured and recorded by Seller (the “ Actual kWh”) is less than the Guaranteed kWh for that Contract Year, then Guarantor shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to (i) the difference between the Guaranteed kWh and the Actual kWh, multiplied by (ii) the Performance Guarantee Payment Rate (as defined in Section 1(E)), in each case with respect to the affected Contract Year.

C. If at the end of each successive Contract Year the AC electricity produced by the System as measured and recorded by Seller (the “Actual kWh”) is more than the Guaranteed kWh for that Contract Year, then an amount equal to (i) the difference between the Actual kWh and the Guaranteed kWh, multiplied by (ii) the Performance Guarantee Payment Rate, in each case with respect to the affected Contract Year, shall be credited against and shall reduce by such amount any payments owed by Guarantor to Purchaser in the following Contract Year pursuant to Section 1(B) of this Exhibit 4.
