Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance appropriates $142,938.00 from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund to the Department of Development and authorizes the expenditure of these funds by directing the Director of the Department of Development to enter into grant agreements with:

Godman Guild, for $42,938, for architectural fees and other construction costs needed to locate Modular Classrooms on site at 303 East 6th Avenue.

LifeCare Alliance, for $50,000 for expansion of kitchen operations and the purchase of essential equipment for the Meals on Wheels Program.

Huckleberry House, for $50,000, for the construction and renovation costs of an adjoining property at 1421 Hamlet Street for use as the new family counseling center.

The total amount of all grants is $142,938.00.

This legislation represents agencies to be funded following the Emergency Human Service Application process. The legislation targets those social service agencies, with capital expense needs, that will provide help to families and households through improved access to programs and services by assisting with the capital needs of individual agencies. In addition, the city supports programs and activities so that the greater population is assured access to other community assistance. This funding will allow the process to continue with much needed services.

This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow facility improvements to begin immediately thereby avoiding interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: A total of $142,938.00 has been allocated for these grants from the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund.
