Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE SUBAGREEMENTS FOR THE 2026 CALIFORNIANSFORALL YOUTH JOBS CORPS PROGRAM The City of Stockton (“City”) is interested in promoting workforce development programs, particularly those that endeavor to empower youth; and The City of Stockton was awarded and accepted CaliforniansForAll Youth Service Corps grant funding administered by California Volunteers to support youth employment and workforce development programs; and The State has awarded additional Youth Service Corps funding for Calendar Year 2026, covering the period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, which must be administered separately from prior grant periods; and The City will use a portion of the 2026 funding to continue implementation of its youth workforce development strategy through partnerships with qualified subgrantees that have previously demonstrated capacity, compliance, and strong performance outcomes; and The State framed the 2026 funding as an extension of the City’s existing Youth Service Corps grant, and continued use of existing providers ensures program continuity, compliance with State requirements, and uninterrupted youth employment services; and Approval of these agreements retroactive to January 1, 2026, is necessary to align contract authority with the State grant period and allow for reimbursement of eligible program costs incurred since the start of the calendar year; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City Manager is authorized to execute subagreements with Main Street Youth and Family Services ($493,971.70) and the San Joaquin County Office of Education DBA Greater Valley Conservation Corps ($495,000) totaling $988,971.70 to implement youth workforce programs with the CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps Round 3 grant funds (Exhibits 1 and 2).
2. The City Council approves findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code Section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process, including:
The recommended agreements continue previously approved youth workforce development programs implemented by existing subgrantees with demonstrated capacity, performance history, and compliance with State grant requirements.
The State of California framed the 2026 funding as an extension of the City’s existing Youth Service Corps grant and requires the use of calendar-year-specific funding, necessitating new agreements without materially changing program scope, providers, or services.
Conducting a competitive procurement process would not provide a material benefit given the continuity of services, fixed State program requirements, and the need to ensure uninterrupted youth employment and grant compliance.
3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED January 27, 2026 .

Mayor of the City of Stockton
