Executive Summary The City of Carlsbad established the Carlsbad Hiring Center in 1991 to address an influx of day laborers into the area and coordinate their employment searches at a single location. A contractor has been operating the Hiring Center and providing the related employment services on behalf of the city since it was created. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2022, and a new agreement is required to continue operations. This action authorizes the execution of a professional services agreement between the City of Carlsbad and Interfaith Community Services to operate and manage the Hiring Center. The agreement is for one year, with three one-year extensions, for the amount of $204,217 per year. Interfaith will connect businesses and private residents with individuals seeking day employment as well as offer case management services and classes, and acting as a liaison between the workers and other federal and state benefit programs. Under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.404.D, professional service agreements over $100,000 must be awarded by the Carlsbad City Council. Discussion The Hiring Center provides employment opportunities that range from temporary day labor and construction and landscaping work to full-time manufacturing jobs. Interfaith will provide the professional services and advice related to the registration of job applicants, applicant verification and employment referrals, and will employ bilingual staff. June 21, 2022 Item #5 Page 1 of 13 Interfaith has served as the contractor for the Hiring Center since 2014. In 2017, the city of Carlsbad used $600,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to help Interfaith purchase its building at 5731 Palmer Way, Suite A, in Carlsbad to operate a service center for low-income residents of Carlsbad and to host the Hiring Center. The agreement requires the property to be used as a service center for low-income residents for 20 years and for the service center to provide dedicated space to manage and administer the Hiring Center, regardless of who is operating the center. Staff requested proposals to operate the Hiring Center from potential contractors. Interfaith was the only organization to submit a proposal and was selected to continue to operate the Hiring Center under agreement with the city. In its long partnership with the city, Interfaith helped more than 1,065 low-income workers find employment. Staff will continue to evaluate the city’s needs each year to determine if the service is still needed in Carlsbad. When Interfaith first operated the Hiring Center, the operating hours were from 7 a.m. until 12 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Beginning in 2018, the contract was expanded to provide services from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., on the same days. The annual cost of that contract was $204,217. Staff have negotiated the proposed agreement with Interfaith to include operating the Hiring Center for employment services at the same $204,217 cost, but with reduced Saturday hours. Under the proposed agreement, employment services will be offered from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. Based on past operating data, Saturday is the lowest attended day and the reduction in Saturday hours will have a minimal service impact on the community, while maintaining the operating budget at its current amount. Options Staff provide the following options for the City Council’s consideration: 1. Adopt the resolution and approve the agreement as presented. Pros • Provides assistance to individuals in need of employment • Increased income, through access to employment, can improve housing options and prevent homelessness, advancing city goals • Continues offering a single location where laborers can seek work Cons • None identified 2. Do not authorize an agreement as presented. Pros • No benefits to the city identified, as Interfaith’s proposal was the only one submitted and putting the services out to bid again is not expected to attract other proposals Cons • Does not provide support to individuals in need of employment • Day laborers would need to seek employment in other locations in the city Staff recommend Option 1. June 21, 2022 Item #5 Page 2 of 13 Fiscal Analysis The agreement for professional management of the Hiring Center is for $204,217. Funding has been included in the preliminary fiscal year 2022-23 budget. No additional impact on the General Fund in anticipated. Next Steps Staff will proceed with execution of the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Carlsbad and Interfaith to continue operations of the Carlsbad Hiring Center.

It has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, therefore, does not require environmental review.
