[ALDERMEN:929] Contract With Community Groups Provide Services for a Fee

I have been asked by several people about the previously used agreements for Boys & Girls Club, South Helena Community Center, Ben Newell's group and others.

Attached is the agreement we used. It has been audited without any problems. The key is that the city cannot DONATE or GIVE AWAY any money for any reason. The city may pay for its own lawful expenses or it may contract without others and pay them to provide a service that the city COULD provide or does provide but wants additional coverage in that area. Case in point, the Boys & Girls Club provides the same or similar activities as those provided by the community center. Therefore, the city is contracting for services that it already provides. The Boys & Girls is able to reach children who may not be able to attend the Helena Community Center and the Boys and Girls Club has a national structure that rewards children who do well.

To avoid the "everybody" is entitled to "city money" mentality that is concerning Mayor Willis, I have suggested to him that the city administration and city council establish a pool of money in the range of $25,000 to $30,000 and have people, including the Boys & Girls Club, apply and present their plans to the city council or a committee of people who will score the applications and assist various groups in carrying out city purposes. I would suggest that a base amount be set at perhaps $100 per month and a maximum at $1,500 per month. The monies will then be paid up to the limit provided and no more. This process could then be repeated and in order to qualify for repeat monies, there would need to be some additional justification.

We have paid about $36,000 to the Boys & Girls Club over the last three years. They have done any excellent job. We generally paid then in lump some payments. The arrangement was for $1,000 per month. We did assist then in getting a grant to install air conditioning over there as well.

We have paid the South Helena Community Center about $5,000 for the recreational services it provides to the kids in that area of town, if my memory is correct on the amount. We additionally, partnered with then to receive grant money matched by their own funds to renovate or otherwise improved the building and make it ready for use.

I still believe both of these projects are good for the community to the extent that the city has the will and the funds to assist them.

We did not assist Rev. McGruder and his community center. He had two major issues. First he continually couched his request as gift or donation from city government. Secondly, he said he would serving a large number of dinners on a regularly basis however, the sanitation department reported to me that he was using a regular 96 gallon cart for trash and it would not even be full on a weekly basis. I would imagine if he were able to correct those things, then his presentation might be viewed differently.

This is offered merely for informational purposes and is being sent to all city council members and members of the current administration.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

James

Dear Mayor Valley,

Attached is a slightly modified version of the resolution where the length of the agreement is defined as a calendar year (the previous draft said "fiscal year" but was ambiguous as to whose fiscal year it was). Other than that, it looks great.

Than you very much for your support of the Boys & Girls Club and for the support of the City. It is truly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Tim Schuringa

[ALDERMEN:924] My Continuing Endorsement of the Animal Shelter Plan for Phillips County, Arkansas

Dear City Council Members,

I received a call on Friday from Doug Friedlander from the Chamber of Commerce, who has been working with a countywide coalition of elected officials (of which I was previously a part and in which capacity Mayor Willis now participates) that have put together a proposal for a countywide animal control effort that I believe is on the agenda for this tonight's meeting.

I understand that one of the proposals is to for Helena-West Helena to pay its share of the dues necessary to operate the facility through an in-kind provision of staff and equipment. This is a proposal that I made while Mayor and which I still endorse.

I have also been told that some of the partners in this proposal will be hosting an information session and reception to answer your questions prior to the council meeting at 5:15pm this Tuesday in the district court room next door the council chamber. I hope you are able to make time to attend that session to have your questions answered. Either way, this is a worthy project and I hope you will give it due consideration when it comes before you on tonight.

Thanks very much,

James F. Valley, Attorney

Arizona governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner


The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposes AZ's
new immigration laws. Arizona 's Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following
statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were
sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the
gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to
ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees
couldn't be ejected. Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to
provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if,
on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to
provide free medical care and shelter?"
- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer
