MEMORANDUM
June 15, 2006
TO:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:
Dawn Lang, Budget Director
SUBJECT: Purchase of Service Agreement-
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program
The adopted Fiscal Year 2007 operating budget provides for the payment of $7,341 for
the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program to enable that agency to continue to retain
part-time staff to help place retired persons or persons 55 years of age and older as
volunteers in nonprofit public and private agencies.
The volunteers help in a variety of ways which include commodity distribution, providing
services to the Department of Human Services, providing help at senior citizen meal
sites, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, and providing clerical support in offices of
nonprofit agencies and City departments.
It is my recommendation that the City Council approves the attached Purchase of
Services Agreement with RSVP and authorizes the Mayor to execute the contract on
behalf of the City.
