Board of Education barring any state laws allowing racial segregation in public schools; and WHEREAS, Ruby Bridges was the lone student of her group of African-American students to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in the City of New Orleans on November 14, 1960, being escorted by four federal agents while bravely walking amongst protesters full of vitriol; and WHEREAS, the San Mateo County Board of Education adopted a resolution in 2019 that November 14, or the following Wednesday should it fall on a weekend, be henceforth annually known as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in the County of San Mateo to celebrate the spirit of inclusivity; and WHEREAS, the California State Senate adopted a resolution in 2021 that November 14, or the following Wednesday should it fall on a weekend, be henceforth annually known as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in the State of California to recognize Ruby Bridges' role in the civil rights movement; and WHEREAS, the City of Menlo Park Safe Routes to School program encourages children to bicycle and walk to school to develop life-long skills and independence in their community; and

Recognizing November as Native American Heritage Month
WHEREAS, long before Europeans settled in North America, the ancestors of Native Americans were the original, indigenous inhabitants, explorers, and settlers of the lands that have since become the United States; and
WHEREAS, it is impossible to fully understand the history of California without understanding the history of the indigenous people who have lived within the current boundaries of the state for thousands of years; and
WHEREAS, California is home to more people of Native American heritage than any other state in the country, with 109 federally recognized Indian tribes as well as several additional tribes petitioning for federal recognition through the Bureau of Indian Affairs; and WHEREAS, the Ohlone, a band of distinct groups of indigenous people who spoke similar languages, thrived in the land now known as San Mateo County and other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area; and
WHEREAS, due to devastating policies and practices of European explorers and missionaries, settlers, and various levels of government, the Ohlone lost the vast majority of their population and land; and WHEREAS, National Native American Heritage Month provides San Mateo County residents the opportunity to teach students about the Ohlone people, their role in the history of the county and the Bay Area, and their efforts to keep their culture alive; and WHEREAS, Land Acknowledgements, statements often made as part of a public meeting that recognize indigenous peoples as traditional stewards of the land, are one way to express gratitude and appreciation to those whose ancestral territory one resides or meets on; and WHEREAS, a special exhibition featuring the photographs of Dugan Aguilar, who captured contemporary Native life in California for four decades, is free to visit throughout November in our very own Menlo Park Library; and
WHEREAS, this month and every month let us honor the resilience of Native Californians and take strides to support truth, visibility, and justice for Native people in our local, state, and national communities;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Jen Wolosin,
Mayor of the City of Menlo Park, on behalf of the City
Council and the City, do hereby recognize November 2023 as National Native American Heritage Month and encourage our community to find time to acknowledge and express gratitude toward the original residents of the land on which we reside.

WHEREAS, the United States is a nation of immigrants whose strength comes from its diversity and the Constitution enshrines equality for all individuals regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, or political views; and WHEREAS, despite this, across the country there exists alarming and frequent displays of hatred, such as threats, bullying, racial slurs and violence, which deeply affect targeted individuals, their friends and family, and entire communities; and WHEREAS, education, compassion, and cooperation are key to dismantling hateful rhetoric, unlocking understanding, and embracing differences between people; and WHEREAS, United Against Hate Week, observed this year from November 12 -18, is a call for action by people in every community to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities; and WHEREAS, United Against Hate Week was created in direct response to the sharp rise in expressions of hate in our communities to empower local residents to take action and alter the course of growing intolerance; and

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 8 of 48 2 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 9 of 48 3 Recommendation
Provide direction regarding operational expenditures and potential revenue sources to open and operate MPCC City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 10 of 48 4 Budget request supports programs and services
• Sept. 13, 2022 – City Council reviewed community survey results for desired programs in the MPCC, and received initial confirmation that service level enhancements would be necessary to operate the new center in the manner envisioned by the City Council and community • April 4 – City Council reviewed MPCC proposed programming plan elements that were developed over the previous several months with robust community input and City Council feedback and direction
• May 23 – City Council reviewed the MPCC programming plan and related staffing, and operational considerations in advance of the FY 2023-24 budget deliberations • June 27 – City Council received information and analysis related to the MPCC operating budget request, including the staffing needs, workload of existing department staff, and related service impacts.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 11 of 48 5 MPCC service needs
• Large, complex multiservice public facility -- 37,080 square feet on two levels. • Will incorporate some current programs, including a senior center, youth center and branch library which are currently operating in other locations and will move to MPCC • Restore services in the Belle Haven neighborhood that were suspended or substantially reduced during construction
• Expand current services to operate the new facility in the manner envisioned by the City Council and community, and for which the facility was designed • Support new desired programs which currently do not exist• New public facilities like the MPCC commonly experience significantly increased usage compared to the old facilities they replace – often 2-3 times higher usage.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 12 of 48 6 MPCC service needs
• The former community center’s closure for construction coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread facility closures, and personnel reductions made necessary by economic downturn
• LCS staffing capacity has not fully recovered from these personnel reductions yet, meanwhile services that were closed during the pandemic at the Burgess campus have been restored • Additional staff capacity to deliver services safely, efficiently and effectively, assuming that service levels at the new center are to be comparable or equivalent to current service levels at the Burgess campus.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 13 of 48 7 MPCC timeline
• There currently are no expenditures or revenues allocated in the City budget specifically to support opening and operating the new facility • Assuming no additional unforeseen construction delays, the issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) for the new facility is tentatively anticipated during the first quarter of calendar year 2024
• City staff estimates that opening the new facility to the public will occur approximately 60-90 days after issuance of the TCO
• City staff estimates a lead time of 3-6 months is needed to prepare, recruit, hire, onboard and train new/restored staff positions
• With this timeline, it is of critical importance to confirm the operating budget and staffing levels for the new center at the earliest opportunity.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 14 of 48 8 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 15 of 48 9 Services overview
• LCS staff are currently working at maximum capacity to meet service demands• LCS has fewer FTE staff now than before the pandemic• All services that were reduced/closed during the pandemic have since been restored • Except for some services in the Belle Haven neighborhood that were paused during construction • Adapted to the reduced staffing levels in part because:
• Major facility has been closed and services in the Belle Haven neighborhood have been reduced during construction
• By implementing efficiency measures• Through increased use of temporary/hourly staffing City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 16 of 48 10 Personnel considerations
• Current staffing, potential new/restored staffing, and new job assignments• Recruitments and advancements• Contract instructors• Vacancy rate City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 17 of 48 11 LCS organizational summary chart

• To aid City Council’s deliberations about the MPCC operating budget, City staff has prepared three expenditure scenarios for consideration and comparison purposes. • In all three scenarios, operating expenses and revenues are presented in amounts representing a full year of operations; however, it is anticipated that operations at the MPCC facility are likely to begin more than halfway through the fiscal year.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 25 of 48 19 Impact on City resources
• The City’s general fund resources are finite and there is some economic uncertainty in the City’s long-term forecast
• The City’s current and forecast economic circumstances are important factors in City Council’s decision-making related to resource allocations • Staff is working on an update to the City’s master fee schedule with a goal of bringing it to the City Council for consideration in early December • One potential non-general fund source that could be applied toward MPCC operational expenditures is the One-Time Developer Payments special revenue fund (Fund 111).
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 7, 2023 Page 26 of 48 20 Next steps
• There currently are no expenditures or revenues allocated in the City’s operating budget to support opening and operating the new facility • City Council may direct staff to implement one of the above expenditure scenarios as presented, or to modify a scenario before implementation • After receiving direction from City Council, City staff will prepare the directed resource allocations for City Council action, which could include resolutions to amend the City operating budget and salary schedule, tentatively in December.
