DRY 2-6-79 C-4508 C=tract with Women's Haven, Inco iof 1
rURNS During the 197879 budget -review process, City Council considered a request for
funds from Women's Haven, Inc, The City Attorney, however, raised some legal
questions regarding the City funding this organization and funds were not
included in the adopted budget. A short time after the budget was adopted, the
City Attorney received a Texas Attorney General's opinion which indicated that
there is no legal obstacle to the City entering into a contractual agreement
for the funding of Women's Haven, Inc.
On November 11, 1978, the City Council adopted CP-44 which approved the con-
cept of entering into a contractual agreement with Women's Haven, Inco The
contract provides for City reimbursement to Women's Haven, Inco on a per diem
basis for services provided to Fort Worth residents victimized by intrafamily
violence. The total reimbursement to Women's Haven, Inc, under the contract
shall not exceed $79,368, Staff was directed to work out details and submit
the proposed contract to the City Council for approval.
The proposed contract will contain the following provisions;
1) The City of Fort Worth will reimburse Women's Haven, Inco monthly
at the rate of $23047 per person per day for qualifying Fort Worth
residents staying in a Women's Haven shelter from October 1, 1978,
through September 30, 19799 up to a maximum of $79,368. The reimburse-
ment will be made for both women and their children.

through September 309 1979, with a thirty-day cancellation clause
