7 PURPOSES.
8
9 WHEREAS, the City had a division to deal with grant writing requests to achieve funds
to and programs to help with various City projects, but this division has been depleted as its
11 members have left the City to accept employment elsewhere, and
12 WHEREAS, Griffin Grant Writing & Consulting has offered to be a part of the City's
13 efforts, to accept a fee of ninety thousand dollars ($90,000.00), plus a percentage of any grants
14 awarded, but to return the entire fee if they do not meet a performance quota of at least one
15 million dollars, and
16 WHEREAS, after reviewing this proposal and checking with various references listed
17 by the company, it has been determined that this is an appropriate approach to addressing the
18 City's grant writing needs, and that the proposed contract could cost the City absolutely
19 nothing, which means that it is impractical and unfeasible to undergo a competitive selection
20 process for this service, and
21 WHEREAS, the nature of granting writing and the time for seeking grants is already
22 upon the City, so the need to proceed as quickly as possible is immedate,
23 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTIONS OF
24 THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
25 Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to enter into a contract in substantially
26 the same form as that attached as Exhibit A to this ordinance, if its terms are approved as to
27 legality by the City Attorney, with Griffin Grant Writing & Consulting, to provide grant writing
28 services to the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, from the date of this ordinance until December
29 31, 2000, and to be automatically renewed after that time, unless cancelled in accordance with
30 the agreement, for a period not to exceed 24 months from the date of execution.

1 Section 2. Because of the unique nature of the fee arrangement, which includes the
2 possiblity that the City will not have to pay any fee for these services, the Board finds that it is
3 impractical and unfeasible to competitively select these services.
4 Section 3 Severability. In the event any title, subtitle, chapter, subchapter, section,
5 subsection, subdivision, paragraph, subparagraph, item, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this
6 ordinance is declared to adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional, such declaration or
7 adjudication shall not affect the remaining portions of the ordinance which shall remain in full
8 force and effect as if the portion so declared or adjudged invalid or unconstitutional was not
9 originally a part of the ordinance.
10 Section 4. Repealer. All laws, ordinances, or resolutions, of parts of the same,
11 that are inconsistent with the provisions of this resolution are hereby repealed to the extent of
12 such inconsistency
13 Section 5. Emergency. The Board believes that the ability to enter into an agreement
14 of this nature and seek the priority grant funds set forth is essential to protect the public health,
15 safety and welfare because the grants obtained with aid the City in the fulfillment of its duties
16 to the citizens; an emergency is therefore declared to exist and this ordinance shall be in full
17 force and effect from and after the date of its passage.
