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 and will also provide services to foster instruction in entrepreneurship in the colleges of
the greater Bay Area and will develop entrepreneurial pathways to small business owners served by
collaborating agencies. This funding will support program operations for fiscal years 2011-2012.
Fiscal Impact:
An increase 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,
Administrative Services to execute and make all necessary arrangements in relation to this grant agreement
and any future amendments on behalf of the college.
