CITY COUNCIL MEMO
FROM: Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: November 15, 2018
SUBJECT: Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas 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 Area Agency on Aging of Northwest
Arkansas in the amount of $103,887 to provide public recreation services for senior citizens of
Fayetteville in 2019. 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

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.
