Further request the City Council to grant an exception pursuant to Phoenix City Code section 42-20 to authorize indemnification and assumption of liability provisions be included in the FUA that would otherwise be prohibited by Phoenix City Code section 42-18.
Report
Summary
This FUA is needed in order to provide a venue for the Phoenix Women's Commission (PWC) to host the "She Matters Equity Forum," which will be held on May 21, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The PWC is authorized by Phoenix City Code section 18-305, et.seq., and was created to provide a formal forum for citizen review of the City's diversity efforts and salary equity, and to serve as an Advisory Board to the Council. One of the duties delegated to the PWC is to assist in efforts to provide information and educational programs to improve the status of women. In effecting this duty, the PWC has organized the "She Matters Equity Forum," an event to address equity issues and promote wellness and empowerment for women in the workforce.
Request to authorize an exception to the requirements of Phoenix City Code section 42-18 to allow inclusion of indemnification and limitation of liability provisions in the FUA. The risk of this exception is low due to the FUA only being in effect for a finite amount of time. MCCCD has requested this exception as a condition of entering into the FUA and providing the venue for "She Matters Equity Forum."
Contract Term
