TITLE: AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES WITH JAYSON F. CARDINALLI, AN INDIVIDUAL DOING BUSINESS AS CLEAN BROTHERS RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute an Agreement for Services with Jayson F. Cardinalli, an individual doing business as Clean Brothers, in an amount not to exceed $118,260 and a term of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the City has contracted with Clean Brothers to provide portable toilets and handwashing stations at homeless encampments throughout its jurisdiction. These essential services support the basic sanitation and hygiene needs of unhoused residents who may not have regular access to permanent restroom facilities and mitigate hazardous and unhealthy conditions that are often present in an encampment environment. The proposed Agreement for Services seeks to continue this support and service through in an amount not to exceed $118,260 and a term of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND:
Homelessness continues to present a serious and ongoing concern within the City of Salinas which requires significant support, services, and funding to maintain and preserve public peace, health, and safety. The City has and continues to strategically allocate funding and resources toward this issue. Recognizing that access to available or nearby facilities that provide basic human sanitation needs are often not readily accessible to various homeless encampments, the City is seeking to mitigate this health concern through a cost-effective agreement with Clean Brothers and under the thoughtful identification and monitoring of locations identified by the Salinas Outreach and Response Team (SORT).
DISCUSSION:
Currently, Clean Brothers provides six (6) portable toilets and washing stations to various encampments throughout the City. The proposed Agreement for Services seeks to continue this level of service for a one-year term commencing July 1, 2023 and with supportive funding from the Community Development Department’s Housing and Community Development Division General Fund – Homeless Services Coordination allocation.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Guidelines Section 15378.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The proposed Agreement for Services supports City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2022-2025 goal and strategy of Public Safety by providing essential access to supportive sanitation and hygiene facilities to unhoused residents.
DEPARTMENT COORDINATION:
This agenda item is solely administered by the Community Development Department Housing & Community Development Division in coordination with the City Attorney and Finance Department.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The proposed Agreement for Services will be solely funded by an available appropriation from the Community Development Department’s Housing and Community Development Division General Fund – Homeless Services Coordination account..
