RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller's Office to issue payments totaling $4,770.00 to Gaye Williams (dba Nika’s Catering) to provide catering for the Martin Luther King, (MLK) Jr. celebration on January 21, 2020, as recommended by the MLK Advisory Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be two payments made: one on January 6, 2020 in the amount of $2,350.00 and another for the remaining balance of $2,350.00 on January 21, 2020. The total will not exceed $4,770. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

For the past 42 years, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors have hosted the annual birthday celebration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On January 21, 2020, we will continue the tradition by honoring his life and legacy, which offers a unique opportunity to further develop the concept of community engagement and reflection. The celebration includes a keynote speaker, live entertainment, food and the announcement and presentation of the Adult and Student Humanitarians of the Year. The event had been catered by the Employment and Human Services Department Community Services Bureau for many years. Since the retirement of the lead cook, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Planning Committee opted to have the affair catered to maintain the authentic flavors of southern cooking.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The celebration will be incomplete without the intermingling of the food component.
