The first presentation was Ordinance No. 17,159, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO CONTRACT
WITH TEEN CONNECTION, INC., TO PROVIDE PREVENTION, INTERVENTION
& TREATMENT PROGRAMS; DISPENSING WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING,
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
(Re: National Youth Council Against Violence.)
City Manager Charles Nickerson stated that staff has done a financial review of the past
practices of Teen Connection, and several concerns were identified in terms of business
practices. Assistant City Manager William Hunter and Tracy Rancifer will be working
closely with Matthew Hampton and Teen Connection in terms of developing a work
program that ties specifically back to a budget. They will be monitoring the program and
setting performance targets. Mr. Nickerson then recommended approval of the
Ordinance. Director Keck spoke in support of the Ordinance, stating there have been
some definite dates, time frames, accountability standards, and bench marks implemented
into this contract regarding financial matters, performance, and expectations. The
Ordinance was then read the first time. There was a motion by Director Joyce, seconded
by Director Hinton, to suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on second reading. The
motion was unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being nine in number
and two- thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors - elect. At the request of
the Board, Assistant City Manager William Hunter reviewed the time frame for project
activities and distributed a copy of the Teen Connection National Youth Council Against
Violence (NYCSV) budget. The Ordinance was then read the second time. There was a
subsequent motion and second by Directors Adcock and Joyce, respectively, to again
suspend the rules and place the Ordinance on third and final reading. The motion was
unanimously adopted by the Board Members present, being nine in number and two -
thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors - elect, and the Ordinance was
read the third and last time. A roll call vote was taken on the question, Shall the
Ordinance Pass, with the results recorded as follows: Ayes - Directors Mason, Kumpuris,
Adcock, Hinton, Hodges, Keck, Joyce, Wyrick and Mayor Dailey - total 9; Noes - None;
Absent - Directors Sharp and Wilson - total 2.
The Emergency Clause contained in Section 2 of the foregoing Ordinance was
read and adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Mason, Kumpuris,
Adcock, Hinton, Hodges, Keck, Joyce, Wyrick and Mayor Dailey - total 9; Noes - None;
Absent - Directors Sharp and Wilson - total 2. Whereupon, the Ordinance, together with
