RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board, Small Business Development Center, to apply for and accept grant funding in an amount not to exceed $210,000 from Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation to provide consulting, training, and business development information to business owners or potential owners throughout the County for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County is to receive an amount not to exceed $210,000 from Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation. There is a required 1:1 County match, of which 97% is a cash match using Small Business Administration funds, and 3% is an in-kind match.

BACKGROUND:

Grant funding will be used by the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa, Small Business Development Center, to provide outreach, group and individualized training, education, and information services to small business owners and potential small business owners in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, services of the Small Business Development Center could not be delivered or expanded to business owners or potential owners throughout the County.
