AMENDMENT
1. Clarify fundraising language within bill
2. Correct scrivener’s errors
3. Place revised First Amendment on file to:
1) update reporting language
2) include revised line item budget
• Authorizes a First Amendment to the FY 22/23 City Grant Agreement with Mayport
Waterfront, Inc. to:
1) Extend the term of the contract one year from 9/30/23 to 9/30/24
2) Authorize two advance payments for the remaining balance of the grant funds totaling
$98,000
3) Revise the grant budget
4) Revise the fundraising goals
• The First Amendment revises the fundraising language on the term sheet to set goals of hosting
10 events and raising at least $25,000 by 9/30/24 and submitting a total of 4 grant applications by
6/30/24; however, there are no penalties or clawback provisions if the fundraising goals are not
met
• Waives the provision in Sec. 118.201(f)(7) that requires payment based upon draws for services
performed or reimbursements for work done in order to authorize two additional advance
payments of $62,000 on October 30, 2023 and $36,000 on January 31, 2024 (one advance payment
of $42,000 was made in January 2023)
CONCERN
This amended agreement authorizes 100% of the City funding to be provided to Mayport
Waterfront, Inc. in advance as opposed to on a reimbursement basis. While the amended
agreement will require evidence that the prior payments have been fully expended by Mayport
Waterfront, Inc. before the next installment is paid, the advancement of 100% of funding is not
standard for City Grant agreements.
