Rules Committee · 2026-09-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns an amendment to a proposed appropriation of $204,000 from debt interest savings within the General Fund. The funds are intended for The Northeast Florida Exchange Club Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse, Inc. d/b/a Exchange Club Family Center. This funding will support the Exchange Parent Aide Program for fiscal year 2026-2027, covering costs like personnel, occupancy, office supplies, travel, and direct client expenses. The program is a voluntary child abuse and neglect prevention initiative. The city is waiving a competitive award process to authorize a direct contract with the organization. This item is currently pending review by the Rules Committee. While no construction is involved, the funding supports program operations which may require office supplies, travel services, and other administrative support. Local businesses providing these services could explore opportunities by contacting the organization directly.
