DATE: July 8, 2025
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: County Administrative Officer, Paul Nerland
SUBJECT: Retroactive Revenue Agreement with Central Valley Community Foundation
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute retroactive revenue Agreement with Central Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) for collaboration and participation in the Sierra San Joaquin Jobs (S2J2) coalition of California Jobs First, effective February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, total not to exceed $100,000.

This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Should your Board not authorize the recommended agreement, collaboration with CVCF would cease and California Jobs First may cease to continue. There would also be no revenue accepted by the County to pay back the County for its staff participation time.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
