WHEREAS, as part of the Mid-Cycle Budget process, the City Council allocated
$500,000 of the General Fund monies to the departmental budget of the City Attorney's
Office, and appropriated $100,000 of those funds in anticipation of funding the first year
of a three-year pilot project to provide legal services to low-income tenants; and
WHEREAS, at City Council direction, City staff issued a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to secure an organization to provide the legal services, conducted the selection
process, and ultimately recommended that the City Council approve a three-year,
$500,000 agreement with Centro Legal de Ia Raza (Centro Legal) to provide those
services; and
WHEREAS, the Council has considered the report and recommendations of the
Interim City Manager on the reasons for the budget appropriation and has determined
that the budget appropriated is both fair and appropriate; and
WHEREAS, this appropriation ensures that the City of Alameda has exercised
prudent judgment in its fiduciary responsibility as guardian of the public tax dollars.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Alameda that
budget amendment to the City Attorney's Office's Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget is approved
to increase appropriations by $400,000 to provide for the remaining funding already
