City Council City Council Meeting
The City Council meeting addressed the recommendation to award a five-year agreement to Cal Interpreting and Translations Corporation for translation and interpretation services, aimed at implementing the City's Language Access Policy. The discussion focused on meeting the demand for accessible City services for non-English-speaking residents, particularly for Spanish, Mandarin, Farsi, Russian, and Amharic languages. The proposal includes a not-to-exceed contract amount of $500,000, compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, and a justification for the selection based on service quality, pricing, and American Translators Association certification.
