AARC Workgroup meeting for the AAQoL Tuesday , January 14th, 12:00pm -1:00 pm In attendance: Vince Cobalis, Sona Shah, Leanna Kallivoka, Assistant director, PARD), Laura Esparza, Riley Triggs (Public Works Project Manager), Debasree DasGupta. 1. Discussion on the AARC Phase 11 Master plan: The PARD team is preparing a response to Schiller Liao’s proposal regarding the timeline, which should be available to us for the Commission meeting on the 21st. They are still in the early stages of the development of the project. It is not always feasible to have the entire process happening in parallel. but they will consider alternative delivery methods provided it is approved by the city council. Bridge : Proceeding with current design. Watershed had shown interest but cannot fund it if it is built by someone else. The bridge could be constructed faster using the bond funds so this is a discussion that needs to happen as this would eat into the bond funds. 2/3. Senior Programs/ Transportation: The Center is moving forward with Meals on Wheels for this program. The contract needs to be re-written and some other aspects taken care of before the transition, hopefully by April. The CAPCOG contract requires finalization before transition. The existing vendors have been made aware of the change that is about to happen. 4. Performance reports: (please see attached) Foundations Communities will again be providing tax-clinics for those in need. The clients do have language support but will have to make appointments in order to run the clinics smoothly. 5. AARC special projects: The Exercise equipment for the Seniors have been installed along with several picnic benches. The garden still seems to be thriving. 7. HR Report: (please see attached) Meeting was adjourned at 1: 25pm.

AARC Project Updates AAQoL Advisory Commission, January 2020 Asian American Resource Center – Implementation of 2019 Master Plan Phase I The Public Works Department (PWD) Project Manager, Riley Triggs, attended the January 14, 2020, Asian American Resource Center (AARC) Oversight Working Group meeting to discuss the funding sources for the next phase of the master plan implementation. Currently, a total of $7 million was approved for AARC in the 2018 G.O. Bonds. Given the limited funding, PWD and the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) are working to establish the associated project scope. Communication protocols between PARD and PWD (the project management team) and the Asian American Quality of Life Advisory Commission and AARC Oversight Working Group were discussed in order to balance transparency and effectiveness with efficiency and budgetary limitations. PARD also issued a response to the AARC Oversight Working Group members and the Network of Asian American Organizations (NAAO) representatives to clarify the process and schedule for the development of the next phase of improvements at AARC. PWD and PARD are working on the project initiation phase, which entails the development of the architectural program, review of site opportunities and constraints, and permitting requirements, and possibly seek approval for alternative delivery methods. The initiation phase is anticipated to run through the summer of 2020 and will terminate upon the issuance of the solicitation for Design Professional Services. Asian American Resource Center – Pedestrian Bridge The Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued to HVJ Associates on January 3, 2020, for the design and engineering work associated with the pedestrian bridge structure and landings at AARC. PARD continues to coordinate with the Watershed Protection Department’s (WPD) project management team assigned to the Little Walnut Creek AARC/Rutherford stormwater improvement project and is coordinating collaboration with the HVJ Associates design team. Preliminary site information was received from WPD that HVJ Associates is evaluating with their consultants in order to begin conceptual design. While the design phase is in progress, the surveyor will coordinate with PARD and the Rutherford Campus to define the required easement area for the pedestrian bridge between the Rutherford Campus property and the AARC property. HVJ Associates has started researching pre‐fabricated bridge manufacturers to make recommendations to PARD. Utilizing a pre‐fabricated bridge will speed up the process of installation once design and bidding is complete. The pedestrian bridge project is funded through the 2018 G.O. Bonds approved for AARC. 1

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Rodney Gonzales, Assistant City Manager DATE: October 14, 2019 SUBJECT: Update on Homelessness Initiatives This memorandum is a continuation of updates on cross-departmental initiatives to address issues surrounding homelessness. Priority Area Framework There are many City departments providing a variety of programs and services . As previously described, the Homeless Strategy Office (HSO) will serve as a hub for cross-departmental efforts underway. As part of the coordination of these efforts, there will be a delineation of priority area functions under which programs and services will fall. For each priority area function, a lead department will be assigned as the responsible party for convening programs and services within the function. The Homeless Strategy Office will serve as the overall Convening Lead for City programs and services. Although Lori Pampilo Harris, will be transitioning to a consulting role, she will continue to guide us in matters surrounding homelessness. Lori's expertise in designing high-functioning outreach systems and diversion services programs will contribute to our collective efforts to assist people experiencing homelessness. 1
