In November 2022, Columbus City Council approved ordinance 2877-2022 to renew the contract for one additional year and to add additional funds.  The contract term did not change.

 

This legislation will modify the contract to add additional funds.  The contract terms will not change.

 

Emergency action is requested to allow program services to continue without interruption.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:  Funding is available within the Development Taxable Bond Fund. An amendment to the 2022 Capital Improvement Budget is required to establish sufficient budget authority within the proper project.
