Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $8,385.00 from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund. Funds will be used by the Department of Development to enter into a grant agreement with the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association for the purpose of making repairs to their office space located at 3242 Cleveland Avenue. The repairs will include new paint, replacement of ceiling tiles, light fixtures and carpeting. Funds will also be used to upgrade the electrical system, to purchase computer hardware, office equipment and furniture.

The purchase of computer hardware, office equipment and furniture will enhance communication, client privacy and permit efficient organization of materials.
This legislation is presented as an emergency in order to assist the organization in timely manner.
