PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Meeting: January 10, 2019
Subject
Case Management Services at the Cupertino Senior Center Presentation
Recommended Action
Accept presentation on Case Management Services at the Cupertino Senior Center.
Discussion
Case Management Services are an integral and important part of the services offered by
the Cupertino Senior Center. The primary mission is to connect seniors with resources to
help maintain their independence and safety at home.
With a typical case load of over 100 active cases, the two Case Managers who work out
of the Senior Center maintain a program with a strong reputation for keeping seniors as
independent as possible. A link between social and recreational activities makes the
program a perfect fit as part of the Senior Center program.
The City receives no income from the program and thus subsidizes two full time
employees and provides other appropriate resources.
Sustainability Impact
No sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact.

Strategic Plan.
EDSP adopted by City Council in late
2016. Hired consultant to work on
implementation of key objectives
including: Identified several policies for
forward-looking economic development
including: 1. Consider allowing
incubator/co-working uses to replace
underperforming retail, as well as
consider creating office allocation in the
General Plan specifically for mid-to-small
size companies. 2. Create a policy to
allow mobile uses (including food trucks)
in the City. 3. Identify and develop
regulations for an Innovation/Arts district
in the City.
Identified several policies for forward-
looking economic development including:
1. Consider allowing incubator/co-working
uses to replace retail on sites that have
underperforming retail and meet specific
criteria. 2. Consider creating office
allocation in the General Plan specifically
for mid-to-small size companies. 3.
Identify and develop regulations for an
Innovation/Arts district in the City. 4.
Create a policy to allow mobile uses
(including food trucks) in the City. This
could include identifying areas where
such uses could be
allowed. Incubator/co-working space is
currently defined as smaller work space
for a range of creative industries,
and unlike in a typical office, those in
incubator/co-working spaces are usually
not employed by the same
organization. The space would include,
but not be limited to, smaller business
spaces with shared resources, such as
conference and meeting rooms, reception
services, kitchen and/or food services,
and other shared amenities. Bring draft
ordinances to City Council in Winter 2018
for Item 1: Conversion of underperforming
retail space to incubator/accelerator/co-
working space and Item 2: Mobile
vendors. Schedule a Council Study
