,� 83
WHEREAS, as.a result of the one -half cent sales tax adopted
as a part of the Future - Little Rock process, the City has been
able to implement several new programs, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has, on several occasions,
stated that it would like to implement an evaluation process of
the various City programs to assure that monies are used in the
most efficient and effective manner, and
WHEREAS, the City entered into an initial contract with the
Arkansas Institute of Government at the University of Arkansas
at Little Rock to outline such a program and, as a result, has
received a good work product from the Institute and a
willingness by the Institute to provide almost $20,000 in
additional services if the evaluation contract remains with it,
and
WHEREAS, after careful review the Board believes that this
contract should stay with the Institute,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to enter into an
agreement with the Arkansas Institute of Government at the
University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the amount of $108,000
to provide evaluation services on the effectiveness of the
Future - Little Rock programs being funded with the previously
approved one =half cent sales tax.
Section 2. The Board finds that in light of the $20,000
contribution from the Institute, the fact that the Institute has
• • 84
designed this program, and the fact that this evaluation process
should begin immediately, it is impractical and unfeasible to
submit this contract to competitive bidding and, therefore,
waives this requirement.
Section 3. Emergency. The need to evaluate the programs
being implemented by the Future- Little Rock one -half cent sales
tax is in the best interests of the public health, safety and
welfare of the community, particularly since certain programs
are currently underway; an emergency therefore is declared to
exist and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after the date of its adoption.
