The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

1.  Portland Parks and Recreation has benefited from two Alternative Community Service work crews.

2.  The Multnomah County Alternative Service Program is willing to provide crew leaders, transportation and two work crews for the amount of $133,960 with an incremental increase in the second year.

3.  The City and the County have drawn up a contract that meets the rights and the obligations of both parties; and it is appropriate to contract for such services for the term of July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2004.

4.  The County has successfully worked Alternative Community Service crews in parks since 1984.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Commissioner – in – charge of Portland Parks and Recreation and the Auditor are authorized to sign an agreement with Multnomah County Department of Community Justice, substantially in agreement with the attached contract.

b.  The Mayor and the Auditor are to draw and deliver warrants chargeable to the FY 2002-03 Parks and Recreation budget through the FY 2003-04 Parks and Recreation budget when demand is presented by the proper authority.

Section 2. The Council declares an emergency exists due to the desire of the County to begin services this fiscal year and will unnecessarily deprive the City of the benefits of the services; therefore, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
