From the minutes, not yet reviewedWhat it does
Approves, after the fact, a contract with Western Carolina Rescue Ministries Inc. to extend provision of Purple emergency shelter.
- Passed with the routine items, in one vote, without discussion.
- The money, in the minutes' words: “The contract provides funding for up to 37 nights, in an amount not to exceed $80,000.00, and may be extended if additional need and additional funds are identified.”
- Why it matters: Ratify means approve after the fact. Sometimes the City has to act first, as in an emergency.
