Explanation

Background:

This ordinance transfers the matching funds to the Title III-A project so that both grant and matching expenditures will appear under the same project account.

The department is obligated to pay a portion of the Title III-A grant, which includes salaries of certain employees of the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible.  Up-to-date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.  Additionally, emergency legislation is required so monies are available in March for salaries.

Fiscal Impact:

$197,200.00 is being transferred from the Recreation and Parks Operating Fund to the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund, as shown in Section 1 of this ordinance.
