Explanation
Background: In 2006, the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) and the City of Columbus (hereafter referred to as the city) modified their joint transfer agreement such that the city received $580,000.00 to continue and expand its recycling and environmental stewardship efforts. These funds were awarded in two installments. The first installment totaled $210,909.00 and was appropriated via ordinance 2197-2006. The second totaled $369,091.00 and was appropriated by ordinance and 2102-2007.
In early 2009, the aforementioned transfer agreement was again modified, resulting in an additional $78,303.00 for the program. Ordinance 0264-2009 authorized the appropriation of the increased funding as well as the extension of the program from August 2009 through the end of the year.
In late 2009, the transfer agreement was modified yet again, providing an additional $210,912.00 for the program and extending it through December 31, 2010. This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of said funds through December 31, 2010.
Fiscal Impact: This program is funded entirely by moneys made available through negotiated modifications to the transfer agreement and leases between SWACO and the City of Columbus. It has been structured to ensure that costs do not exceed available revenues. As such, there are no negative fiscal impacts associated with passage of this ordinance.
This ordinance is presented as an emergency to ensure that the program continues without interruption.
