“Of the appropriation in the 2017 budget for the Finance General Reserves BCL, $475,000 is appropriated (and of the amount endorsed for 2018, $475,000 is expected to be appropriated) solely for the provision of social service navigators at food banks. Furthermore, none of the money so appropriated may be spent until authorized by future ordinance. Council anticipates that such authority will not be granted until the Human Services Department provides Council with a report including a description of: (1) the work and funding the City already does or contracts for that achieves the same outcomes for which the social service navigators are intended; (2) how new social service navigators would fit into the City’s existing portfolio of services; (3) how duplication of existing services will be prevented; (4) the plan for effectively achieving outcomes; and (5) how these new services will be evaluated.” |
