More detail
The Council declares emergency circumstances for adopting a separate contract approval and payment act after one reading. The separate act concerns three Tag-B Parking contract changes for private transportation and attendant services for eligible students. Council approval is needed because the changes exceed $1 million in 12 months; the separate act, not this resolution, would approve them and authorize payment. This emergency declaration took effect immediately.
