AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXTEND AGREEMENTS WITH FIT TO
THE CORE AND BOTTLETREE CULTURE TO CONTINUE RECREATION
SERVICES TO THE SENIOR COMMUNITY THROUGH MAY 2023
WHEREAS, on June 18, 2019, City Council tasked the Community Services division with activating East Palo Alto city-owned parks and facilities with summer recreation programs and services for children; and
WHEREAS, on December 21, 2021, the City Council again tasked the Community Services division with providing programs and services to the public during the summer months; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EAST PALO ALTO hereby authorizes the City Manager to:
1. Extend agreements with the two service providers through May 2023 to provide enhanced services to members of the elder community, and
2. Allocates $55,200 of Transit Occupancy Tax funds to cover costs.
