Consent Item 4c
STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: August 15, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
THROUGH: Ryan Plotz, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Approval of Memorandum of Understanding between City of Fortuna and Fortuna Senior Center
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between City of Fortuna and Fortuna Senior Center to use of Measure E Funds for senior programs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Fortuna Senior Center (FSC) requested $60,000 from Measure E derived funds for use for construction of their new senior center. City staff requested that the FSC revise their request to reflect funding to support programming, because with the contribution, they would not have enough to complete their project, and no resulting benefit to the public. The FSC revised their request consistent with the City’s request and it was recommended for approval by the Measure E Advisory Committee, and ultimately incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget.
In order for the City to provide the funds to the seniors, a MOU was necessary to identify the allowable uses, non-allowable uses of funds, and the reporting necessary by the FSC. The City Manager and City Attorney developed the attached MOU for the preceding purposes. The FSC has reviewed the draft and approves the provisions of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contribution of $60,000 to the FSC will allow them to continue providing their programs and make progress on their new facility. The funds identified for use in this MOU are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 City of Fortuna annual budget.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the MOU between the City of Fortuna and the Fortuna Senior Center. Consent Agenda vote.
