Summary
Ordinance 2026-214, introduced by the City Council at the Mayor's request, seeks to amend the existing grant agreement between the City of Jacksonville and the United Way of Northeast Florida for the United Way 2-1-1 Program. This amendment allows for a reallocation of funds within the existing budget of $250,000 without increasing the total amount. The changes reflect adjustments due to internal restructuring at United Way, affecting employee compensation and operational expenses, while maintaining the overall budget. The amendment is important for ensuring the effective use of funds allocated for this critical information and referral helpline, which supports crisis and suicide prevention efforts. The Grants and Contract Compliance Division will oversee the amended agreement, which is retroactive to October 1,
