Explanation
Ordinance 1306-2024 was approved by City Council on June 10 as a 30-day ordinance. Due to a delay in the drafting, language edits, and approval of this ordinance, and because an emergency designation was not requested, the effective date of the ordinance and corresponding contract with FACCES was not until mid-July - well past when the work began. At the advice of the City Attorney's Office, the Mayor's Office of Education is requesting the authority to retroactively pay FACCES for this work.
This ordinance authorizes the Office of Education to enter into a retroactive grant agreement with the Family Adolescent & Child Community Engagement Services (FACCES), a non-profit entity, to reimburse them for their engagement in the 2024 summer youth education program. FACCES is a non-profit organization whose mission is to place unique and pointed emphasis on each member of the community, with a priority on being child centered. FACCES strives to be a hub for families to connect with resources that support them in leading healthy lives.
FACCES will only be reimbursed for program expenses incurred during the program period of May 1 to September 30, 2024.
FACCES was selected to perform this work via a competitive summer programming process overseen by various City departments and City Council. Neither the Office of Education nor any other City staff have either the experience or skills needed to perform this program.
Fiscal Impact: There is no funding associated with this ordinance. Ordinance 1306-2024 appropriated funding for this program.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
As the work is already completed, an emergency designation is requested to reimburse FACCES for their work as soon as possible.
