AMENDMENT

Finance Committee · 2026-08-04 · agenda_item

This item concerns an amendment to allow a direct contract with First Coast Crime Stoppers, Inc. The City of Jacksonville Finance Committee is reviewing this request. The amendment would waive a rule requiring competitive bidding for city funds given to non-profit groups. This is to quickly provide funding for a program aimed at improving public safety. The process is currently pending review. This action would involve administrative and legal services to finalize the contract and ensure compliance. Businesses specializing in legal services and government contracting may find opportunities related to the contract's finalization and oversight. Early engagement with the city or the non-profit could provide insight into the process.
