Summary
DATE: March 7, 2023
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Danielle Singh, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to an Interlocal Agreement for Regional Homelessness Cooperation and a Strategic Plan
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
On January 25, 2022, the City Council authorized an interlocal agreement with the City of Temple to create a Strategic Plan and provide for cooperation to address homelessness. This interlocal agreement allowed the City of Killeen and the City of Temple to hire a consultant to work on the Strategic Plan. On February 14, 2023, the City Council adopted the Homelessness and Mental Health Strategic Plan.
In order to move forward with implementation of the Strategic Plan, staff from the City of Killeen and the City of Temple have determined that it would be beneficial to retain additional services from the consultant during initial implementation. The original agreement set the maximum expenditures from each city at $50,000. This amendment would increase the total expenditure to $70,000 from each City.

2. Approve an amendment to the interlocal agreement with the City of Temple.
