TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a new Learning Activity Placement Agreement, and any related documents, with the Trustees of the California State University, on behalf of California State University Fullerton, to facilitate internship opportunities at the Long Beach Senior Center, located at 1150 East 4th Street, for California State University Fullerton students, commencing upon full execution of the Agreement, for a period of five years from the aforementioned commencement date.

PRM will benefit from the proposed Learning Activity Placement Agreement (Agreement), as the student interns will be providing labor and services at no cost to the City of Long Beach (City) in exchange for the learning experience gained through the internship. This type of request is not new to PRM; California State University Dominguez Hills and California State University Long Beach have similar agreements that allow them to place student interns at the Senior Center.
PRM will directly supervise each student and will submit timecards and performance reports to CSUF.
