Title
Amendment to Agreement with United Methodist Open Door.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the amendment and authorize the Chairman to sign.
The Taskforce to End Chronic Homelessness (TECH) was established to identify barriers to housing and determine a permanent resolution to end chronic homelessness in Sedgwick County. The outcome of TECH's work became the Sedgwick County 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness, with one of the goals being the development of a Resource Center for the homeless. Sedgwick County has contracted with United Methodist Open Door (UMOD) to aid them in their mission to develop and operate this center.The amendment proposes changes to Appendix B for updated performance outcomes so that the services UMOD provides can more accurately and effectively be measured. The changes will align the outcomes with what is reported to the United Way making the contract easier for UMOD to administer and ensures consistent information is reported to funders.
Alternatives:The proposed changes make this contract a more effective tool for both parties. If the Amendment is not signed the outcomes will not change and will remain as originally proposed.
Financial Considerations: None anticipated based on this action.
Legal Considerations: The authority for the action K.S.A. 19-101. A simple majority vote is required.
Policy Considerations: All Sedgwick County policies have been followed in the development of this amendment.
