Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 0228-06, passed February 13, 2006, authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contract with, among others, the Center for Child and Family Advocacy, for the period of February 1, 2006 to January 31, 2007. The Center for Child and Family Advocacy program operates on a different contract cycle than the others so it is now necessary to amend Ordinance No. 0228-06 by correcting the effective contract dates as follows:
Center for Child and Family Advocacy, beginning August 2, 2005 and ending August 1, 2006.
Emergency action is requested so that program services can continue uninterrupted.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funding is required by this legislation.
