The City of Portland ordains:

SECTION 1. The Council finds that:

2.  At this time the City desires to contract with non-profit and social service agencies and organizations to continue this commitment for 02-03 and provide child development services to the community.

3.  The City now wishes to enter a contract with the Portland Relief Nursery, Inc., for $141,083 to provide childhood development services as described.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a. The Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with Portland Relief Nursery, Inc. for the Portland Relief Nursery 03 in a form substantially in accordance with the agreement attached as Exhibit A (attached to original ordinance only).

b. The Mayor and City Auditor are hereby authorized to pay for said contract from the Housing and Community Development Fund and General Fund.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because delay in funding would interrupt Portland Relief Nursery, Inc.'s ability to provide the Portland Relief Nursery 03; therefore, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by Council.
