* Agreement with Lutheran Community Services for $66,870 for the Parkrose Target Area and provide for payment. (Ordinance)

The City of Portland ordains:

1.  The CITY is entitled to receive Community Development Block Grant funds from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.

2.  The CITY has created a Community and Targeted Initiatives Program Area, within the Bureau of Housing and Community Development, to identify and designate small geographic areas located within low/moderate income neighborhoods, for multi-year assistance to carry out community-directed revitalization activities. One activity under this Program Area is the Target Area Designation Program, which identifies and designates target areas to be served by the Program Area.

3.  The SUBRECIPIENT has been working in the Parkrose Neighborhood as a non-profit organization and has developed relationships with other community-based organizations in the area.

4. The SUBRECIPIENT applied to have the area designated as a target area in order to complete this effort.

5.  The Parkrose Neighborhood was selected for target area designation by a citizen committee, which reviewed the applications to the Program.

6.  The project has now beginning its third year of implementing the action plan, which it completed.

7.  Funding this type of activity meets the goals and objectives of the Bureau of Community Development.

8.  There are funds available in the FY 01/02 approved budget for the HCD Program to support the continuation of this program in the amount of $66,870.

9.  An agreement should be entered into with Lutheran Community Services as fiscal agent for Family Works, in the amount of $66,870, to enable the SUBRECIPIENT to carry out activities in the Parkrose Neighborhood Target Area.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a. The Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with Lutheran Family Services for the Parkrose Target Area 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 Community Development Block Grant Fund.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because delay in funding would interrupt Lutheran Family Services’ ability to provide the Parkrose Target Area; therefore, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by Council.
