Explanation
Background:
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Neighborhoods, on behalf of the City, to renew a Service Contract with the Neighborhood Design Center (NDC). NDC is currently working in coordination with the City Department of Neighborhoods to engage the Linden community, City Departments, and other community partners to align resources to develop a comprehensive community master plan. This work was initiated via 0305-2017 and passed by City Council on 2/6/17. Additional funding is needed to continue work associated with the master planning process for the Linden community. This piece, therefore, authorizes the expenditure of $75,000.00 from the General Fund (GF).
Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact associated with the execution of the contract renewal is in the amount of $75,000.00 to come from Fund 1000 General Fund (GF). This amount was budgeted in the Department of Neighborhoods' 2018 budget.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow for the immediate execution of this contract renewal in order to finalize the neighborhood planning process.
