Report Title: Agreement #78-087 with City of Pinole
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #78-087 with the City of Pinole, a municipal corporation, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $48,965, to provide homeless outreach services under the Coordinated Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) Program, for the period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this Agreement will allow the County to receive an amount not to exceed $48,965 from the City of Pinole to provide homeless outreach services. No County match is required.
BACKGROUND:
The CORE team serves as an entry point into the county’s coordinated entry system for unsheltered persons and work to locate, engage, stabilize and house chronically homeless individuals and families. The CORE Program provides homeless outreach services aimed at identifying homeless individuals, youth and families living without shelter and in locations not meant for human habitations.
Under new Agreement #78-087, City of Pinole will pay County to provide homeless outreach services under the CORE Program through June 30, 2026. This Agreement includes a mutual agreement provision that requires the parties to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party for any claims arising out of the performance under this Agreement. This Agreement is late due to County receiving the finalized documents from the City on July 2, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding and without such funding, the CORE program may have to operate at a reduced capacity.
