BACKGROUND: Ordinance 1546-2008, approved by City Council on October 10, 2008, authorized the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Board of Health, to execute those documents necessary to enter into a lease agreement with The Ohio State University and 77-83 Outerbelt Street, LLC for the occupancy of the following square footage:
Property Owner Number Square Feet Price per square foot Contract Compliance#
The Ohio State University 360 $13.33 311340739
77-83 Outerbelt Street, LLC 2,860 $12.50 200344671
Earlier this year, the Health Department mistakenly paid one month of lease payments from the wrong grant year purchase orders. This legislation will authorize the Health Commissioner to submit documents to the City Auditor to encumber the additional $3,379.17 needed to pay the rent for the month of September 2009, because the current grant year purchase orders will be one month short as a result of the error.
Fiscal Impact The lease payments cited above are entirely funded by the grant. This grant does not generate revenue or require a City match.
