The GCP provides funding for the costs of special services or purposes not readily chargeable to a specific
department of the City, including items related to the Promotion of the Image of the City, Governmental
Services, and Intergovernmental Relations. The contracts and programs included within the GCP will be
monitored by various City departments. These monitoring departments and the City Clerk are responsible for
drafting appropriate contracts (subject to the approval of the City Attorney) and presenting them to the
contractors for execution. These departments also handle contract compliance and payment request
approvals. At the conclusion of every contract, the monitoring departments perform initial and final contract
close-out reviews. In addition to contract monitoring, the City Clerk's Office is responsible for assuring
Citywide consistency in the GCP Program.
