Council mulls divvying relief funds to adult day care, family shelter

updates on GYedc, Infill Overlay district also on Wednesday agenda

The Yuma City Council on Wednesday will consider allotting COVID-19 relief funds to cover renovations at the Daybreak Adult Day Health Care facility and furnishings at Crossroads Mission.

The consent agenda contains agreements with Catholic Community Services Yuma, which operates Daybreak, for $150,000 to make renovations and improvements that will allow the facility to safely serve more people, and Crossroads Mission for $40,000 for the purchase of furnishings for the family shelter. A sewage backup from a severe rainstorm damaged the family shelter and all of the furnishings had to be discarded.

In September, the city received a second allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which must be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the spread of COVID-19.

The consent agenda also includes the following items:

• Acceptance of $120,000 in grant funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and a request to use the funds to purchase five Lucas chest compression units from Stryker Sales Corporation of Chicago.

• Replacement purchases of public safety mobile data computers for a total cost of $426,503 from Dell Marketing LP and $34,793 from CDWG, both of Chicago.

• A contract with DataProse of Coppell, Texas, for printing, insertion and mailing services for utility bills and business licenses for an estimated annual expenditure of $36,102, excluding postage.

The council will also hear two presentations, a mid-year update from the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation and an update on the Infill Overlay District.
