The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0006 and M0007) to Contract No. CW119502 with Friendship Place, which provides short-term family housing. The modifications involve an increase in funding, with Modification No. M0006 raising the contract amount by $873,487.49 to a total of $3,623,210.89 for the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. Proposed Modification No. M0007 seeks to further increase the contract amount by $468,663.09, bringing the total to $4,091,873.98.

Council approval is required because the total contract value will exceed $1 million within a 12-month period, and without this approval, Friendship Place cannot be compensated for the services rendered. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that the circumstances necessitate immediate action, allowing the modifications to be adopted after a single reading. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.
