requiring on site review, inspections, and guidance by the design firm.
This professional services agreement with Parsons Transportation Group is necessary for post-
design services which include: (1) review of shop drawings and inspections by their bridge
engineer and artist during construction, (2) post-design coordination with ADOT and the
contractor, (3) completion of as-built drawings according to new ADOT procedures, and (4) pre-
bid changes such as reconfiguration of the drainage system, adding supplemental pathway
signage, and changes to the westbound frontage road pavement markings.
Parsons Transportation Group was selected for this project through a competitive consultant
selection process used for GO Program projects.
On September 22, 2009, Council approved an amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement
(IGA) with ADOT to allow the use of funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment

PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTIONS
10. AMENDMENT TO THE EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANTS PROGRAM
(RESOLUTION) (PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED)
JO
Gilbert Lopez, Community Revitalization Administrator, presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to conduct a public hearing and adopt an Emergency
• Shelter Grant (ESG) amendment to the FY"2009-10 Community Development Block Grant
Annual Action Plan. Doing so will allow the city to reallocate $53,320 of ESG to fund shelter
operations that assist Glendale residents. If approved, the Central Arizona Shelter Services
(CASS) would receive $26,660 and the Faith House Domestic Violence Shelter would receive
$26,660.
This request addresses the City Council goal of one community with strong neighborhoods.
ESG is a federally funded program designed to help address homeless in Glendale. As such, the
program provides assistance to eligible Glendale residents to prevent homelessness and fund
shelter operations. Both of these activities are consistent with the priorities of the city's 2005-
2009 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which was reviewed and adopted by Council in 2005.
Staff recently identified ESG program savings and funding in the amount of$53,320 that was
returned to the city. When savings occur, the city reprograms these funds to help address urgent
community needs. In this specific case, the funds can only be used to help operate existing
homeless shelters such as CASS,(which operates homeless shelters for individuals and families)
and the Faith House (which provides shelter services to victims of domestic violence). These
organizations were selected based on community need, their ability to meet ESG program dollar-
for-dollar match requirements, and upon recommendation of the Community Development
Advisory Committee.
All funds received from the federal government for Glendale's ESG program help address
homeless. In the current economic environment, the need for these types of services is currently
evident. The request to approve this item will result in homeless assistance to additional families
and individuals who have been identified as being prior Glendale residents.
The Community Development Advisory Committee discussed this item at its November 16,
2009, meeting. The Committee conducted a public hearing to allow for comment and
unanimously voted to approve the amendment and forward it to Council for final consideration.
Advertising of the 30-day public comment period was published in The Glendale Star on
December 3, 2009, and occurred from December 11, 2009—January 11, 2010.
Funds are available in the FY 2009-10 ESG grant. There are no additional costs for this project.
