TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute an agreement and any related documents with the Trustees of the California State University, on behalf of California State University, Long Beach, to facilitate internship opportunities at the Long Beach Senior Center, located at 1150 East 4th Street, for California State University, Long Beach, Department of Family and Consumer Sciences students, commencing upon full execution of the agreement, and expiring on December 31, 2014. (District 2)
DISCUSSION
In 2011, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine (PRM) received a proposal from the Trustees of the California State University, on behalf of California State University Long Beach (CSULB), requesting that PRM facilitate internships at the Long Beach Senior Center (Senior Center), located at 1150 East 4th Street, for its Department of Family and Consumer Sciences students. PRM will benefit from the proposed agreement, as the student interns will be providing labor and services at no cost in exchange for the learning experience gained through the internship. This type of request is not new to PRM; California State University Dominguez Hills has also placed student interns at the Senior Center in the past.
PRM will directly supervise each student and will submit timecards and performance reports to CSULB. CSULB will be responsible for providing all student orientations, placements, provision of liability and worker’s compensation insurance, and payment of all applicable salaries/benefits while the students are interning at the Senior Center. The City of Long Beach will not incur any costs from the proposed agreement.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Gary J. Anderson and Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on March 1, 2012.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on March 20, 2012, in order to enable the execution of the agreement so that CSULB may begin placing student interns at the Senior Center.
