Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves amendment four to a grant from the University of Nebraska to the Metropolitan Board of Health for expenses to attend the CityMatch conference and additional funding for services to integrate support services into the perinatal systems of care.
The Metropolitan Council approved this grant with three amendments through Resolution RS2024-931. The original contract awarded a grant to attend the CityMatch conference and receive integrated support services. The grant term started on September 30, 2023, and would end on September 30, 2024.
The first amendment to the contract removed clauses concerning liability and insurance, removed a clause about the State of Nebraska withholding requirements, and replaced a clause regarding the purchase of goods and services from community members. The second amendment added language limiting the number of contract extensions, subjecting public information to the Tennessee Public Records Act, and eliminated language regarding governing law.
The third amendment extended the term of the agreement to December 31, 2024, with the understanding that the Metropolitan Government performed services prior to the final approval of the Agreement and that it will be compensated for these services.
The proposed amendment extends the term of the grant agreement to September 29, 2025. The amendment would also add funds of $19,285 for a new total of $180,028 and add a new scope of work document to the grant agreement.
Unlike most contracts, the Metropolitan Government will not be the final party to sign the grant agreement. The University of Nebraska requires that it be the last to sign the agreement. This will require a suspension of Rule 17.1 of the Council Rules of Procedure, which requires a resolution approving a contract to contain the signatures of all necessary parties, except the signature of the Mayor and the Clerk.
