CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />6/17/08 <br />Council Date: <br />Finance <br />Gene Anderson <br />12. <br />6/23/08 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Not an action item. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Fiscal Management. <br />BACKGROUND: The City of Paris has historically entered into professional services agreements <br />with certain nonprofit organizations that support the health, safety, or welfare of the citizens <br />of Paris. Such contracts benefit the City by avoiding duplication of services, providing <br />services for which the City has limited or no expertise, providing specialized services in a <br />more efficient manner and at a lower cost than the City can provide them, allowing the City <br />to avoid substa.ntial training costs in order to provide these services, and allowing City <br />employees to focus on other issues directly related to their core function. These <br />organizations are generally acknowledged in the community and recognized as an esta.blished <br />source of these services. They have well established procedures and processes for <br />performuig their specialized service having been in operation for some years. See the <br />accompanying table showing the current year funding for each agency and the requests for <br />FY 2008-2009. These agencies will have the opportunity to make brief presenta.tions on <br />their requests at this public hearing. <br />Note that the City also provides in-kind subsidies for King's Daughters (free lease space and <br />utilities) and the Police Athletic League (free lease space, utilities, and part-time help). <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Requests for public funding table <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ <br />❑ Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ <br />Z Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
