recommendation
Approve Agreement Amendment with Paula E. Groves, doing business as 4Front Partners, to continue assisting the County with the implementation of the Local Equity Entrepreneur Program (LEEP) in the amount of $211,565, with a new term end date of February 28, 2022; and authorize Chair to sign same.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On October 13, 2020 the County of Mendocino Board of Supervisors approved the Local Equity Entrepreneur Program (LEEP) and authorized the Chief Executive Officer to execute the Grant Agreement, including the contract for Administrative Services.
Summary of Request:
When initially implemented, the Local Equity Grant Program was required to allocate the LEEP grant funds by the end of August 2021. As such, the Administrative Services Vendor contract was executed with an expiration date of August 31, 2021. Due to the COVID pandemic, GO-Biz granted the County additional time to allocate the grant funding. The extension requires the County to allocate the grant funding by February 28, 2022. Staff would like direction to extend the Administrative Services Vendor contract, held by Paula E. Groves dba 4Front Partners, though February 28, 2022. Because this request is coming before the board after the contract’s expiration date, staff is also requesting that the extended contract be back dated, to ensure there is no lapse in payment to the vendor, nor in Administrative Services provided by the vendor.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve and provide direction to staff.
