CITY OF _ FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2018 TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff FROM: Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: November 15, 2018 CITY COUNCIL MEMO SUBJECT: Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club Recreation Contract for 2019 RECOMMENDATION: Approval of an ordinance waiving the requirements of formal competitive bidding and approving a contract between the City of Fayetteville and the Fayetteville Youth Center, Inc. in the amount of $225,000 to provide public recreation services for the youth and citizens of Fayetteville for 2019. This is contingent on approval of the 2019 annual city budget and work program. BACKGROUND: The 2019 budget includes a total of $225,000 to be transferred to the Fayetteville Youth Center, Inc. from the General Fund. A resolution of contractual services, as well as an ordinance to waive competitive bidding is required. The contract outlines the services the Fayetteville Youth Center is providing to the City and the citizens of Fayetteville. Please note the Fayetteville Youth Center refers to the operations of the Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club throughout this contractual agreement. A waiver of competitive bids is being requested to secure the continuity of services provided and because the Fayetteville Youth Center has effectively served our citizens for the past 50 years. DISCUSSION: The City of Fayetteville has provided financial support for the Fayetteville Youth Center since 1967. The Boys and Girls Club Executive Director and Fayetteville Parks Director meet annually to evaluate operations to determine if the needs of the citizens of Fayetteville are being met in the most efficient possible manner. The attached "Working Agreement" helps avoid duplication or competition of programs between the two organizations. It is the intent of both agencies to work together for the common good of the citizens by not providing public funding for multiple competing program offerings. If the Boys and Girls Club was not providing recreational services for our youth and citizens, the City of Fayetteville would need to assume the responsibility. The agreement for 2019 is similar to the 2018 agreement with a few updates of program assistance. The Boys and Girls Club assists in providing transportation for children at the YRCC to activities and different sites during the summer months. The Club also provides transportation for various after school programs for YRCC participants as well as bus transportation for shuttling purposes for participants in running and biking special events offered Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 by the Parks and Recreation Department at least three times a year. Both the City and the Boys and Girls Club allow summer program participants to utilize the indoor pool at the Club and outdoor pool at Wilson Park at no cost. The Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club building is designated as an emergency shelter for the City of Fayetteville due to the location and facility available to house citizens. The Boys and Girls Club was utilized as an emergency shelter in the 2017 April flood and the ice storm in 2009. The City appreciates the exceptional service they provided for our citizens during these emergency events. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The 2019 budget includes a total of $225,000 for this request. Funding is the same as provided since 2016. This request is contingent upon City Council approval of the 2019 proposed budget.
