Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Authorizing the
Execution of an Agreement Between the Regents of the University of California, Riverside,
Anderson Graduate School of Management(AGSM) and the City of San Bernardino. (#3371)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
No financial impact to participate in this program.
Motion: Adopt the Resolution.
SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On July 10, 2014,the Personnel Committee approved the proposed item and recommended that
the item be forwarded to the Mayor and Common Council for adoption.
BACKGROUND
The University of California, Riverside Campus,Anderson Graduate School of Management
(AGSM)provides scholarships for its graduate degree program in the Flex Masters in Business
Administration,Masters in Finance and Masters in Public Administration graduate programs.
The City is interested in participating in the University's AGSM programs so current City
employees who are employed 50%of full-time or more may benefit from the scholarship
arrangement.
Essentially, the University of California,Riverside, AGSM, shall provide to any City of San
Bernardino employee a scholarship equivalent of a 60% discount off the current AGSM graduate
programs and course resident tuition rates in existence at the time of enrollment and up to one
year after the effective date of this agreement. The 60% scholarship equivalent award will
remain in force for the duration of the student's academic time at the AGSM,provided the City
Employee is not enrolled for two consecutive quarters at AGSM. Depending on the graduate
degree the value of the 60% scholarship is equal to over$25,000 in reduced tuition cost. This
agreement does not prohibit City Employees from applying for other federal, state or private
student loans and/or financial aid for which they may be eligible. When coupled with the City
employee tuition reimbursement benefit the cost of a graduate degree from AGSM could be
reduced to just over$10,000.
This agreement represents the beginning of what is anticipated to be a long standing relationship
with the University of California, Riverside Campus,Anderson Graduate School of Management
and City of San Bernardino.

An additional note and related matter but separate item; the City's Human Resources Department
is also, working closely with AGSM to develop and implement an internship program beginning
this fall. This internship program will be at the graduate level and include a 120 hour
fieldwork/experiential learning project as part of the graduate student's academic experience.
Once this is in place,the City will join a list of accomplished AGSM internship partners to
include CISCO,Deloitte,Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and eBay. In this light the Human
Resources Department is positioning the City to compete for some of the very best business and
public administration talent in Southern California. We look forward to the implementation of
this program in the Fall of 2014.
