RESOLUTION NO. 55-2020
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AUTHORIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF $200,000 IN FUNDING, PLUS
ASSOCIATED FEES, TO CERTAIN NONPROFIT AGENCIES ASSISTING
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND
EXECUTE ANY NECESSARY AGREEMENTS WITH THE NONPROFIT AGENCIES
WHEREAS, at the March 25 City Council special meeting, the City Council discussed the
COVID-19 public health emergency and agreed to provide an initial $30,000 in funding to assist
individuals struggling during the COVID-19 public health emergency; and
WHEREAS, at the April 20 City Council meeting, the Council approved $250,000 in funding
for the "Kickstart Burlingame" debit card program, which has since been renamed Burlingame
Cares, and will provide $250 debit cards to eligible low-income residents; and
WHEREAS, at the same meeting, the City Council also discussed additional ways to
support low-income residents and gave direction to provide funding to Samaritan House
($100,000), HIP Housing ($100,000), and CALL Primrose ($50,000); and
WHEREAS, Samaritan House is the Core Service Agency serving Burlingame and is able
to serve as the administrator for a program to provide rental assistance to Burlingame
households that have suffered a loss of income due to COVID-19 and would charge the City a
fee of 12%; and
WHEREAS, HIP Housing currently has 12 Burlingame households in its Home Sharing
program and two Burlingame families with children in its Self Sufficiency Program, with one
more possibly moving into a unit in Burlingame, and therefore requests $20,000 rather than
$100,000 in funding; and
WHEREAS, there are significant food insecurity issues throughout San Mateo County, and
CALL Primrose is prepared to serve Burlingame families as well as families in nearby
communities facing difficulties because of the COVID-19 public health emergency; and
WHEREAS, since HIP Housing does not need the full $100,000 that the City Council agreed
to on April 20, the Council desires to provide an additional $25,000 to the Burlingame Cares
program and an additional $5,000 to CALL Primrose; and
WHEREAS, the remaining $50,000 will be returned to the General Fund for use in general
City operations.
