Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify Contract EL017241 with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. by extending the contract termination date from June 30th, 2018 to June 30th, 2019. Ordinance 1346-2016 authorized an increase of $50,000 (PO-029498) and a one year extension. Ordinance 1123-2017 authorized a second one year extension to this contact. An unforeseen decrease in the amount of requests for graffiti abatement left the program with a surplus of funds in this contract. The 2018 budget does not include any funding for this program, but this surplus can carry the program through this contract modification without the need for additional funding. This contract supports the Graffiti Abatement Assistance Program for owners of occupied structures. The Graffiti Abatement Assistance Program helps residential and commercial property owners to comply with the law by offering a no-cost graffiti removal service. This legislation would modify the Agreement authorized by Ordinance 1509-2015, passed on June 22nd, 2015.
Emergency action is requested so program activities can be continue without delay.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are needed for this modification.
