SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution awarding an Agreement for Professional Services to The
Wellman Way LLC for Governance Structure Research for the Pueblo Food Project and
potential governance transitions.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Pueblo Food Project (PFP) requested Proposals from qualified consultants to
research and create a report to better understand the options for a governance
structure change and pertaining to fiscal sponsorship, nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, B-
Corp, and other fiscal options.
In partnership with Civic Canopy, Pueblo Food Project has been investigating
governance structure options for PFP to transition to. Over the past year, research has
been conducted to evaluate the top priorities that PFP should focus on to create the
most sustainable future for PFP. One of these priorities is evaluating and changing our
governance structure to fit the needs of the coalition.
Requested proposals include two phases of work. Phase one work is the only project
bid out at this time. Phase two work is not guaranteed. However, PFP would like to
work with a firm that can offer services for both phase one and phase two, should the
coalition make a decision to move forward with an organizational change.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the maximum amount of $10,000 will be paid out of Project No. CI2216 for
this service.
