Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Planning & Operations, has operated the Paving the Way program since 1990. This program provides up-to-date road construction information to the public and to the media, including information on road closures, detours, and alternative routes; technical advice for construction-related activities and safety tips.

Partial funding for the program is provided by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the federal government [the latter's funding is passed through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)]. Ordinance 1892-2007 passed by City Council on December 10, 2007 authorized the Director of Public Service to execute agreements necessary for this purpose.

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and extend this agreement until funding is exhausted.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
No additional funding is required at this time. The legislation will allow current grant funds to be used to the greatest extent possible. A new grant agreement is being made ready for approval when current grant funds are exhausted.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to provide for the extension of agreements to avoid any service interruptions.

Title
To authorize the Director of Public Service to modify and extend agreements with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission and the Ohio Department of Transportation for continued operation of the Paving the Way program until funds are exhausted, for the Division of Planning and Operations; and to declare an emergency.
