This legislation amends the original ordinance 1334-2009 for project, CIP 650250-100003. Ordinance 1334-2009, was passed November 23, 2009 with the expectation of receiving Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Funds (Ohio WPCLF). The original ordinance authorized the use of Sanitary Sewer Reserve Funds (Fund 666). That ordinance had an Auditor's certification (AC030383) with EL009967 created against the reserves in the amount of $1,512,000.00. The EL009967 has been cancelled with a cancellation number of, OX113661. This legislation will establish a new Auditor's Certificate and EL in Fund 668. Recent revisions in the WPCLF requirements concerning the inclusion of the Davis Bacon Act Contract provisions prohibited the funding of this executed contract through the WPCLF program.
