This is contingent on approval of the 2019 annual city budget and work program. BACKGROUND: The City of Fayetteville began providing financial support for the Council on Aging, Inc. in 1972 for recreation services to senior citizens at the Hillcrest Towers. In 2003, the Walker Park Senior Activity and Wellness Center was added to the contract when it was built. This has been a very successful agreement that continued with the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District providing services until April 1, 2014 when the contract reverted back to the Area Agency on Aging (AAA). AAA has the current building lease for the Walker Park Senior Activity and Wellness Center. AAA provides recreational programs meeting the needs of our senior citizen residents at Walker Park's Senior Activity and Wellness Center and Hillcrest Towers. It is the intent of AAA and the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Department to work in cooperation to enhance the recreation facilities and programs in our City, while not duplicating services in an effort to spend taxpayers' money as effectively as possible. If the AAA were, not serving our senior citizen population, the City would need to assume responsibility. DISCUSSION: The 2019 budget includes a total of $103,887 to be transferred to the AAA 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 AAA is providing to the City and the citizens of Fayetteville. A waiver of competitive bids is requested to secure the continuity of services provided and because AAA has adequately served our citizens for the past 47 years including when they subcontracted services with the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District. The agreement for 2019 is similar to the contract approved in 2018 with an update of the Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 performance measures by the Center's new Director, Chase Gipson. Walker Park's Senior Activity and Wellness Center's building is designated as an emergency shelter for the City of Fayetteville due to their location and facility available to assist in housing citizens. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The 2019 budget includes a total of $103,887 for this request. Funding was increased by $5,000, (five percent) from the 2018 contract due to expanded programs. This request is contingent upon City Council approval of the 2019 proposed budget. Attachments: Staff Review Form Signed Contract Proposed Ordinance K/General/Contract Services/AAA/2019/Legistar 2018-0655 CONTRACT Between the City of Fayetteville and the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas (AAA) WHEREAS, the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas (AAA) is uniquely qualified to provide the full range of public recreation opportunities to the senior citizens of Fayetteville; and, WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Fayetteville and its citizens to provide operating revenues to the AAA in consideration for the substantial recreational programs provided by the AAA to the senior citizens of Fayetteville.
