Board approves $224,320 in contract amendments to expand summer camps in five MDHA communities
Summary
The board approved five contract amendments allocating $224,320 to expand summer programming and serve 170 youth across MDHA public housing sites, with line‑item distributions to five named providers; staff said more funds will be proposed next month.
A library contracts presenter asked the board to approve five supplemental contract amendments that would allocate $224,320 to expand summer programming in Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) public housing communities and serve 170 youth.
The distribution named in the request: AAOC camps for youth development — $32,000 for 20 youth at Cumberland View; Aspiring Youth Enrichment Services — $112,000 for 70 youth (20 at JC Napier and 50 at Sudicom Apartments); Bethlehem Centers of Nashville — $25,600 for 20 students at John Henry Hale; Carnegie Riders — $24,000 for 20 youth at JC Napier; and Rocklife Youth — $30,720 for 40 youth at Preston Taylor. The presenter said recipients are current library foundation partners whose audits allowed them to receive supplemental funding.
A motion to approve the contract amendments was made and seconded. During discussion a board member asked how these additions fit into overall after‑school and summer slot totals; the presenter said the system funds about 1,750 after‑school slots and roughly 900 summer slots and that the additional 170 summer slots would raise the summer total to about 1,100.
The board voted by voice and approved the motion.
Staff said additional funding remains and they will return next month with requests for remaining funds and a priority order was described for MDHA camps prior to allocating residual funds.
No roll‑call vote or numeric tally was recorded in the transcript.
