The current agreement is expiring on December 31, 2009. A new agreement with a five year term is attached for Council consideration. For 2010, NYFS has made minor changes to the agreement based on feedback from the cities. The changes include providing the proposed city contribution amount for the coming year earlier in the year (June 30), and submitting a written report to the city, including an annual Report, by November 30 of each year. NYFS has also determined the contribution from the cities will remain unchanged from the 2009 contribution due to the current economic conditions. Attached as Exhibit 1 to the agreement is a table showing the City's contribution amounts for the years 2006 to 2010. The majority of the City's contribution has been funded by charitable gambling proceeds. Because the amount of charitable gambling proceeds has been reduced in recent years, the amount budgeted by the City has been increased to $7,000 for 2010. Recommendation It is recommended the agreement with Northwest Youth and Family Services be renewed for a five year term beginning January l, 2010, and expiring on December 31, 2014. Council Action Requested Motion regarding the renewal of the agreement with Northwest Youth and Family Services for a �ve-year term beginning January l, 2010, and expiring on December 31, 2014.
