The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

2.  The funds are directed to continue funding the PAL Plus program. The PAL Plus program involves after-school projects at 16 sites.

4.  The amendment shall also extend the Contract through July 31, 2003 unless otherwise terminated or extended.

NOW, therefore, the Council directs:

a.   The Mayor is authorized to execute amendment #2 to Contract # 33377 with PAL.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists in that any delay in the enactment of this ordinance would cause delay in transfer of funds and realizing the benefits of this grant to the City of Portland; therefore, this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
