Title: To approve the Certified Local Government grant for the Feasibility Study for the Franklin Park Trolley Barn facility for funding year 2011 with the City Historic Preservation Officer acting as the community's CLG Program Contact.
Explanation

Background: As part of the Certified Local Government (CLG) agreement between the City and the State, the City Historic Preservation Officer is charged with reviewing and recommending approval of applications submitted to the Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OHPO) for funding of preservation projects located in the City of Columbus.

An application was submitted to OHPO by the Project Coordinator, Jonathan Beard, President and CEO of Columbus Compact Corporation, to conduct a feasibility study for the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the Franklin Park Trolley Barn facility located in the city of Columbus. The application was prepared in cooperation with neighborhood residents and stakeholders culminating in a Community Visioning Workshop held in July, 2010. OHPO recommended approval of this $20,931 CLG grant application, for funding year 2011.

Based on the project description, schedule for completion, and budget provided in the CLG grant application, the project is recommended for approval by the City Historic Preservation Officer. The City will not receive the grant dollars, nor have any direct responsibility in their administration. The funding will go directly from the state to Columbus Compact Corporation and no funds are required from the City. This ordinance is necessary to complete the grant approval process because of the CLG agreement, which identifies the City Historic Preservation Officer as the CLG Grant Program Contact.

Fiscal Impact: The City will not receive the grant dollars, nor have any direct responsibility in their administration. The funding will go directly from the state to Columbus Compact Corporation, which serves as a third party administrator. No funds are required from the City.
