However, a city may use its <br />contracting powers to enter into an agreement for services from a non-profit. The City has been giving <br />money to Youth Service Bureau (YSB) for a number of years. It is typically handled in the annual <br />budgeting process. The City has approved an annual contract with Youth Services Bureau since 2017. <br />The fee in the 2024 contract was $5,665. <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the city approve a service contract with Youth Service Bureau for 2025? <br /> <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />Included in your packet is a contract for services between Youth Service Bureau and the City of Lake <br />Elmo for 2025.
