Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a grant contract from the Metropolitan Action Commission to the United Way, previously approved by Resolution No. RS2025-963. The original grant amount was $200,000 to fund a countywide childcare study. The term of the agreement began January 1, 2025, and was set to end June 30, 2025.
The resolution under consideration would extend the term of the agreement by seven months until January 31, 2026. The amendment would amend the payment methodology to modify the number of allowable invoices. The amendment would also replace the grant spending plan attached to the grant.
