Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the cancellation of Contract No.DL011001, appropriates and expends $23,150.60 from the Emergency Human Services Fund and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to execute a Grant Agreement with the Salvation Army of Greater Columbus to serve as the fiscal agent for the Columbus Workforce Alliance.

The City Attorney Office has established a policy that City Council-approved Emergency Human Services Fund agreements or any previously established EHS contract being altered, be henceforth submitted as grant agreements. The contract referenced above was established in 2005 prior to this new policy.

The Columbus Workforce Alliance is using EHS funds to conduct a project to determine and highlight the effectiveness of current workforce development programs designed for helping low-income employed and/or underemployed individuals residing in the Empowerment Zone find jobs. Due to unanticipated contract delays with its primary project funder (Ohio Department of Development), the Alliance was required to amend the original timeline for the Meeting the Needs of Low-Income Unemployed and Underemployed Job Seekers research and demonstration project. The extension of time will enable the Alliance to implement and evaluate elements of Phase II of the project, which includes the piloting of services identified as critical to labor force attachment by central city residents surveyed in Phase I.

Emergency action is requested to facilitate processing of project expenses without interruption.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this grant are allocated from the Emergency Human Services Fund. The funds remaining from the cancellation of Contract No. DL011001 will be used for this grant agreement.
