NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

SECTION 4. That this City Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the city to waive the competitive bid requirements of TMC Chapter 187 by reason of the contracting agency having the requisite experience as a fiscal agent of donor advised funds and with United Way 211 has the personnel and infrastructure needed to effectively advertise and refer community members to the fund.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this ordinance must be immediately effective in order to provide timely support of the project.
