Can we use city funding to enter into personal service contracts?
Not at this time. Proposals will be presented for City Council review and approval to allow Neighborhood Councils to enter into contracts with vendors/service providers. Such contracts will be processed through the department and the general manager. Until this process is approved, Neighborhood Councils must purchase services on a fee-for-service basis. The Neighborhood Councils board votes to purchase services and includes this item in its publicly approved budget. Once the services have been provided, the vendor/service provider will present the Neighborhood Council with an invoice for payment. Submit that invoice along with a check request (Demand Warrant form) to the Funding Program and a check will be processed to the vendor/service provider.
