Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the expenditure for the Department of Neighborhoods in support of the 2016 Neighborhood Best Practices Conference. The Community Relations Commission within the Department of Neighborhoods has co-hosted, with United Way, the Neighborhood Best Practices Conference for the past 7 years. The Conference is designed to bring community groups together with city, state, and county agencies to talk about “best practices” addressing neighborhood issues in their communities. This conference not only addresses issues but enables community members from all over the city to network and build long lasting relationships, empowering each other to continue making positive change in their neighborhoods. The goal of the Neighborhood Best Practices Conference is to strengthen and promote productive communication and collaboration between neighborhood groups, community partners, and local government. It is also an opportunity for community leaders of various backgrounds to discuss neighborhood best practices, current trends, and most critically to network with other neighborhoods. In support of the 2016 Neighborhoods Best Practices Conference, the Department of Neighborhoods is requesting to expend up to $13,000 for the 2016 conference.
Emergency action is requested so that the expenditure can be immediately executed to reimburse the 2016 conference.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available within the Department of Neighborhoods operating budget.
