Request/Subject

Amendment No. 2 to the 2011-2012 Independent Contractor Agreement Contract No. 07012011-12 with Arizona Community Action Association

Background Information

Affordable energy is an issue of critical concern for low-income Arizonans. Many times heating or cooling costs for low-income families come at the expense of other life necessities such as food, clothing or next month's rent. Since a high percentage of their income is spent each month on utility services, programs which make energy more affordable lessen the financial impact on a low-income family. Arizona Community Action Association's Home Energy Assistance Fund strives to create programs and increase funding to meet the needs of low-income families and individuals in their struggle to remain or become self-sufficient.

Original Contract No. 07012011-12 was signed by Chairman Michael A. Pastor on July 20, 2011.

Amendment No. 1 was signed by Chairman Tommie C. Martin on December 20, 2011.

Evaluation

Purpose of the amendment is to allocate SemStream Arizona Propane funds in the amount of $10,399 in order to provide propane assistance to eligible families residing in Gila County.

Amendment No. 2 will also reduce the Salt River Project Funding under Section I. Services and Programs - 1.2 Fund Sources by $3,558 from $4,400 to $842. The direct service amount is $758 and the program delivery amount is $84.

By the Board of Supervisors approving Amendment No. 2 to the 2011-2012 Independent Contractor Agreement Contract No. 07012011-12, the Community Action Program will assist eligible families residing in Gila County with propane assistance.
