<br /> MINUTiJS <br /> <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> OCTOBYR 14, 2009 <br /> costs of service are $153,795 for 2008 and $69,515 for 2009 year-to-date, <br /> while the City's contribution to NYFS was $14,202 and $14,628 for each <br /> of these years respectively. Hromatka reported that the City's contribution <br /> does the following for the community: <br /> o Helps to lower property crime; <br /> o Creates a better business environment; <br /> o Aids law enforcement by reducing juvenile <br /> crime/increasing family stability; <br /> o Supports higher educational attainment; <br /> o Increases employee productivity; <br /> o Helps seniors live independently. <br /> Hromatka reported that since the retirement of Kay Andrews this past <br /> February as Executive Director of NYFS, the organization has transitioned <br /> to new leadership. The Discovery Center has been completed on time and <br /> under budget, the Capital Campaign continues, there is a continued <br /> commitment to quality services, and NYFS' fiscal status is stable. hi <br /> response to the economy, NYFS has cut expenses, focused its <br /> concentration on core programs and positioned itself for the long term. <br /> New contracts with member cities reflect the current reality as NYFS <br /> recognizes the budget constraints that cities are under. <br /> Hromatka finished by reporting on NYFS' partnerships and the <br /> commitment that they have in working with these organizations. <br /> The Council reviewed the contract with NYFS, with the City <br /> Adminishator reporting that the contract is now afive-year conriact with a <br /> six-month cancellation clause. Contract amounts were previously on an <br /> indefinite term with contract costs calculated on apex-capita basis. <br /> However, the new proposal is to lock in the 2009 contract amount with <br /> future increases based on the CPI. The 2010 contract amount is proposed <br /> at $14,628, the same level as 2009. <br /> Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOL UTION NO. 2009-10-23I -APPROVING THE CONTRACT <br /> WITH NORTHWEST YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES AS <br /> PROPOSED AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY <br /> ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT ON BEHALF <br /> OF THE CITY <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. <br /> Ayes (5). <br /> Nays (0).
