SUBJECT: ITEM 6H – AUTHORIZATION OF AN EMERGENCY SERVICES
CONTRACT WITH CAL POLY FOR THE PERIOD 2024-2029
Staff received the following question, regarding the authorization of an emergency
services contract with Cal Poly for the period of 2024-2029. The question is listed below
with staff’s response shown in italics:
1. How was the 20% number arrived at the "per door" rate on the new
staff/faculty housing?
The current rate is based on a per-capita cost for the student population and is
broken down into on-campus and off-campus rates. As SLOFD looked at the on-
campus staff housing rates, an accurate population count for the staff housing
would likely be unavailable. Therefore, in lieu of a per-capita fee, a “per-door” fee
was implemented for on-campus staff housing. Additionally, staff will reside in
housing year-round. SLOFD determined that students are attending classes, and
presumably living in the City, about 80% of the year (10 of 12 months), while the
staff population would be residing on campus 100% of the year, hence the 20%
increase in the per-door cost relative to the on-campus per-capita rate.
