CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Gary Dumas, Director of Operations
QC�onnie Edmonston, Director of Parks and Recre�in
From: David Wright, Recreation Superintendent
Date: December 14, 2006
Subject: An ordinance waiving the requirements of formal competitive bidding and
approving a contract between the City of Fayetteville and the Northwest Arkansas
Economic Development District in the amount of $62,500 to provide public recreation
services for senior citizens of Fayetteville for 2007.
RECOMMENDATION
Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Staff recommends approving the contract with
Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District (NWAEDD) to provide public
recreation services for the citizens of Fayetteville and waive competitive bid for services.
BACKGROUND
In 1972, The City of Fayetteville began providing financial support for the Council on
Aging, Inc., to provide recreation services to senior citizens at the Hillcrest Towers and
the Fayetteville Senior Center. This was the beginning of a very successful agreement
that continued until the NWAEDD assumed the responsibilities of the Council on Aging
last year.
Like the Council onrAging, the NWAEDD will provide recreational programs, meeting
the needs of our senior citizen residents at the Hillcrest Towers and the Fayetteville
Senior Center. It is the intent of both parties to work in cooperation to enhance the
recreation facilities and programs in our City, while not duplicating services in efforts to
spend tax payers' money as effectively as possible. If the NWAEDD were not serving
our senior citizen population, the City would need to assume responsibility.
,
DISCUSSION
The 2007 budget includes a total of $62,500 to be transferred to the NWAEDD. Of this
transfer, $37,500 comes from the Parks and Recreation Division, Parks Development
Program and $25,000 comes from the General Government Department, Miscellaneous
Division. A resolution of contractual services, as well as an ordinance to waive
competitive bidding is required. The contract outlines the services the NWAEDD is
providing to the City and the citizens of Fayetteville. We are requesting a waiver of
competitive bids to secure the continuity of services provided and because the NWAEDD
has adequately served our citizens since it was created.
BUDGET IMPACT
The 2007 budget includes a total of $62,500 for the transfer to the NWAEDD. This is
same amount provided in 2006. This agreement is contingent upon City Council
approving the 2007 Operational Budget.
