to the sixteen (16) programs that have entered into contracts
with the City to provide prevention, intervention and treatment
services.
SECTION 3. The Board of Directors finds that it is
impractical and unfeasible to submit this contract to public
bidding since the first program year is underway and New Futures
has provided the administration to date.
SECTION 4. The funds for this contract shall come from
existing appropriations for prevention, intervention and
treatment in Account No. 210 - 030 -0400 and are hereby
appropriated from that account for this purpose.
SECTION 5. EMERGENCY. The prevention, intervention and
treatment programs are geared to assure that youth within the
City receive appropriate care and guidance where necessary to
avoid problems with delinquency or to become victims. The
administration of the programs set up by the City is essential
to make sure these programs are successful. This administration
is essential to the public health, safety and welfare. An
emergency is therefore declared to exist and this ordinance
shall be in full force and effect from and after the date of its
execution.
