RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute the Unpaid Student Training Agreement with UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial cost to the County outside of staff time to supervise the Goldman School Student.

BACKGROUND:

The UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy conducts a client-based policy analysis training program for its public policy students pursuing Master’s degrees, in cooperation with various local agencies and nonprofit organizations. Through enrollment in this program, Goldman School students will receive field experience and instruction from the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and the County will receive assistance in achieving its Climate Action Plan goals. The participating student will evaluate financing alternatives for private property owners seeking to install energy efficiency improvements on their property, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions as set forth in the County's Climate Action Plan. The agreement specifies that this is an unpaid student training program, and students are not employees of the County.


CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to authorize this agreement would deprive the County of a graduate level research project that supports the County's goals in clean energy and environmental sustainability.
