Section 4.
Authorization. The City of Jacksonville is
authorized to enter into contracts with third parties to expend
these funds in accordance with the respective program requirements.
Section 5.
Execution of Documents.
The Mayor, or his
designee, and the Corporation Secretary are hereby authorized to
execute and deliver any and all documents necessary to effectuate
the purpose set forth in Section 2 above. Because the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development requires recipients to
comply with OMB Circular A-122 “Cost Principles for Non-Profit
Organizations,” and with Title 24 Housing and Urban Development CFR
Part 84 “Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-profit Organizations,” and hire
an independent certified public accountant to audit the program
(not to be funded from the grant moneys) in accordance with OMB
Circular A-110, the provisions of Chapter 118, Ordinance Code,
shall not be applicable to the City’s contracts to be awarded to
recipients. To the extent that a particular award/program does not
require compliance with OMB Circulars A-110 or A-122, or 24 CFR
Part 84, then compliance with Chapter 118, Ordinance Code, will
instead be required.
Section 6.
CIP Amendment. Ordinance 2014-467-E, being
the 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for the City
and certain of its independent agencies, is hereby amended by
reducing funding for the project entitled “New Kings (US 1) Trout
River to Borden” in order to provide funding for the project
entitled “New kings Rd (US 1) I-295 to Garnette St”. The projects
are more fully described in the Project Information Sheets,
attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by this
reference. The Council finds that the deferral of this amendment of
the CIP until the next annual budget and CIP review will be
detrimental to the best interests of the community because such
deferral could result in loss of funding. Pursuant to Section
122.605(c), Ordinance Code, enactment of this ordinance requires

section. This ordinance shall constitute an amendment to Ordinance
2013-465-E. In all other respects, the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Program approved by Ordinance 2013-465-E shall continue
in full force and effect.
Section 7.
Oversight.
The Department of Public Works
shall oversee the project described herein.
Section 8.
Effective Date. This ordinance shall become
effective upon signature by the Mayor or upon becoming effective
without the Mayor’s signature.
