Background:
The Central Coast Small Business Development Center at Cabrillo College receives its federal
dollars from the Small Business Administration through an annual contract from the Humboldt
State University Office of Sponsored Programs. HSU serves as the regional lead agency and
administrator for the ten Small Business Development Centers in Northern California. Operation of
the SBDC program is also supported by other local grants. This contract, expiring on December
31, 2011, will also include a half year amendment which includes new funding from the State.
Humboldt State University intends to renew the SBDC’s operating contract and has sent a letter of
intent. This contract is projected to be funded at a minimum of $140,000 of federal funding and a
maximum of $86,253 from the State. A future amendment may occur depending on the status of
the federal Jobs Bill funding proposal.
Fiscal Impact:
An increase of at least $226,253 in revenue and expenditures.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Governing Board accept the $226,253 grant from the Humboldt State
University Sponsored Programs Foundation. It is further recommended that the Board authorize the
Vice President of Administrative Services to execute and make all necessary arrangements in
relation to this grant agreement and any future amendments on behalf of the college.
