Alfonso, City Manager October 30, 2017 DATE FILE y and Economic Development BACKGROUND Allocation of $652,852 for Public SUBJECT: Services activities with funds allocated from Social Services Gap program REFERENCES: FNCLOSUHES: Due to the continuous decrease of available of Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds in the last few years, Public Service agencies' allocations have been reduced resulting in reduction of services to residents. The City Commission approved the allocation of funding to cover public services program shortfall from Social Service Gap program fund account No. 00001.910101.852000, to the agencies specified in Attachment "A" to provide public services for the City during the Department of Community and Economic Development's (DCED) program year that started from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. As these agencies are familiar with the needs of the community and requirements imposed by the City and currently performing the services needed by the City. It would therefore be advantageous to the City to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this time. Providing these funds to these organizations will allow residents of the community to have an uninterrupted service from agencies they are already familiar with, which cannot happen with procurement process, which could take over 3040 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 Ordinance, 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.
