AGENDA ITEM

AGENDA DATE April 6, 1998
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Adoption of a new Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Program and e~tablishment of annual
DBE goal.
BACKGROUND
In order to obtain federally funded grants, local agencies must have a Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (DBE) program. A DBE policy requires that a certain percentage of the contractor's
workforce be made up of minorities. The City currently has a DBE policy, but Proposition 209 no
longer permits this practice in this state.
Therefore, the current policy must be rescinded. However, in order to qualify for federal funds, a ne~
DBE program must be established consistent with the federal requirements. Federal requirements set
the minimum goal of 10%.
The De Anza Boulevard and Stevens Creek Boulevard Arterial Management Project has federal funds,
and this is needed in order to obtain said funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council rescind Resolution No. 8824, which established a
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Program, and adopt Resolution No. 98-082, adopting a new
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Program and establishing an annual DBE goal.
