Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Public Works, Recycling and Solid Waste Division (RSW) is responsible for removing illegally dumped debris from City-owned vacant lots, public rights-of-way, and roadsides within City limits during normal business hours. Certain areas are inaccessible by RSW equipment and require crews to hand pick litter. This supplemental agreement would continue to provide hand crews for litter abatement and clean-up of these areas.
Under the Homeless Mitigation Project, RSW responds to daily calls for clean-up of homeless encampments, both active and abandoned, throughout the City to maintain clean, and refuse-free streets.
Policy Considerations: The recommendation in this report are in accordance with City Code Chapter 3.56 for amendments that exceed the City Manager’s approval authority.
This agreement with the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps (SRCC) is in line with the City’s vision of youth enrichment by providing vocational training programs to area at-risk youth with education, job skills training, and work experience opportunities. SRCC provides these services in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, this work supports the City’s projects and initiatives aimed at homeless services coordination.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): This report concerns administrative activities and government fiscal activities that do not constitute a “project” and is not subject to the provisions of CEQA (CEQA Section 15378(b)(2)).
Sustainability: None
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: Litter abatement and illegal dumping clean-up services from the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps (SRCC) increase the capacity of Recycling and Solid Waste clean-up operations. Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to City Agreement No. 2018-1615 is necessary to clean up and clear vacant lots owned by the City and public rights-of-way within the City limits that are not easily accessible by larger Recycling and Solid Waste equipment and vehicles and to cleanup abandoned and active homeless camps.
Financial Considerations: Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to City Agreement No. 2018-1615 will increase the not-to-exceed amount by $247,000, for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $403,000. Supplemental Agreement No. 1 will be funded as follows:
Fund Amount
Fiscal Year (FY) 2019/20 Department of Public Works
Recycling and Solid Waste Operating Budget General Fund $ 52,667
Illegal Dumping MYOP (I15200200) General Fund $ 52,000
Homeless Housing Initiative MYOP (I02000200) General Fund $ 30,333
FY20 Public Works Measure U MYOP (I80150800) Measure U $ 112,000
Total $ 247,000
Sufficient funding is available in the FY20 RSW Operating Budget (General Fund, Fund 1001), in the Illegal Dumping MYOP (I15200200) (General Fund, Fund 1001), in the Homeless Housing Initiative MYOP (I02000200) (General Fund, Fund 1001), and in the FY20 Public Works Measure U MYOP (I80150800) (Measure U Fund, Fund 2401) to execute the supplemental agreement with SRCC in an amount not to exceed $247,000.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): The Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps is an LBE.
Background: The Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps (SRCC) was established in 1984 by the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce as a private, nonprofit organization serving young adults (18 - 25 years old) in the Sacramento area.
The mission of the SRCC is to enrich the lives of young adults by providing a development program integrating education, job skills training and work experience on conservation projects and service opportunities that benefit the region and SRCC members.
Corps members are ethnically diverse, and most are economically disadvantaged and encounter educational and social challenges, as many of the Corps members have young children. Last year, 75% lacked a high school degree and 30% tested at or below the 7th grade level. Presently, 75% are in designated minority groups, of which 27% are female.
The success of the SRCC program begins with the unique position of being able to link education with paid work experience. Emphasis is placed on work ethics, citizenship, interpersonal communication, teamwork and other job-holding skills.
Corps members who do not have high school diplomas are enrolled in the John Muir Charter School at SRCC education center. Here, they have the opportunity to earn their high school diplomas.
For many years, the City of Sacramento and the SRCC have worked jointly on community clean-ups of vacant lots, commercial corridors, alleyways, creeks, drainage canals and provide flood control services/assistance utilizing labor from SRCC work crews. SRCC work crews have provided a very effective means of accomplishing this work. The SRCC has a long list of other client agencies including the cities of: Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Fairfield, Galt, and West Sacramento, as well as the County of Sacramento.
