Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend a contract with YAHS Construction, a Certified Emerging Minority Business Enterprise Company,(cc# 80-0392038, expires July 21, 2011) to provide lawn care service on City owned property being held in the Land Bank and purchased with Neighborhood Stabilization Program Funds. Legislation was approved on June 7, 2010 (0754-2010) to authorize the use of $195,000 of the Neighborhood Stabilization Funds for lawn care services through March 4, 2013 and to establish two, one-year contract extension periods. This legislation will amend the contract to authorize the expenditure of $20,000 from the Second Neighborhood Stabilization Fund to permit the maintenance of properties acquired under NSP 2, and to extend the term through the first contract extension period, until December 31, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT: The $20,000 for this contract will come from the General Government Grant Fund. This legislation will authorize the Director of the Development Department to amend an existing contract for lawn care services on property acquired through NSP 1 and 2.

The $20,000 needed for this contract increase will come from these cancelled funds.
