Background:
In 2010 Cabrillo College was awarded a highly competitive grant to operate the Business and
Entrepreneurship Center (BEC), serving the Community Colleges of the greater San Francisco Bay
region. We have recently received notice from the Chancellor’s Office that the funding to operate
the Business and Entrepreneurship Center has been renewed. This center will work in alignment
with our Small Business Development Center, foster instruction in entrepreneurship in the colleges
of the greater Bay Area, and develop entrepreneurial pathways to small business owners served by
collaborating agencies. This funding will support program operations for fiscal year 2012-2013.
Fiscal Impact:
An increase in the amount of $205,000 in revenue and expenditures.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Governing Board accept the $205,000 grant from the California
Community College’s Chancellor’s Office. 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.
