BACKGROUND
City Year, Inc. ("the organization") is an education organization fueled national service that partners with urban public schools
in high -poverty communities to help keep students in school and on track to graduate. City Year AmeriCorps members commit
to a year of full-time service in schools, where they tutor students one-on-one, provide support in classrooms and organize school -
wide initiatives to improve school culture. The funds being provided to the organization will sponsor a City Year team for the
2019-2020 Program Year; in a total not to exceed $100,000 proposed in the FY 2019-2020 budget. This allocation is a continuation
of sponsorship that began on 2017-2018 program year for (3) years of consecutive funding.
As they are familiar with the needs of the community and requirements imposed by the City, it would be advantageous to the City
to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this time. Providing these funds to the organization will allow
more youth to obtain these services immediately with no added time for the procurement process, which could take over 30-40
days.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above stated approval of a waiver of the formal requirements of competitive sealed bidding methods as not being
practicable or advantageous to the City as set forth in the City Code of Ordinances, as amended, specifically Section 18-85 (A),
and the affirmation of these written findings and the forwarding of the same to the City Commission for ratification by a four -
fifths vote is respectfully requested.
