Reuse Policy Revised

The City Council, on June 16, 2010, adopted Reuse Policy Amendments that remove barriers and make it easier to find qualified Reuse partnerships. The Reuse Policy amendment's key highilghts are:

Suspend competitive evaluation requirements under Council Policy 7-12 (Reuse) for 12 months and allow staff to instead follow the provisions of San Jose Municipal Code, Title 4, Chapter 4.12.235, "Uniques Services Purchases." The City Council authorized the PRNS Director to extend suspension of these requirements for an additional 12 months, if deemed necessary.

Revise the Reuse Policy evaluation criteria previously used to select Reuse partnerships. The revised crietria allow a broader range of programs in addtiion to recreation-type programs, subject to City approval.

Allow qualified for-profits to compete for Reuse sites, and allow for the application of market rate facility rental fees and full or partial cost-sharing of maintenance and utility facility expenses commensurate witht the square footage used.
