Explanation
Background: There is a need to transfer and appropriate funds to provide 2011 funding for the Area Commissions. Historically the City has provided funds to the Area Commissions, who through their daily operational functions incur eligible expenses that require cash expenditures during the program year. These funds allow each Area Commission the flexibility and individuality in decision making as they fulfill their functions and responsibilities as outlined in their bylaws and Columbus City Codes. Each Area Commission will receive $1,000.00 in 2011.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation transfers $21,000.00 from the General Fund to the Area Commission Fund to provide monies in the proper projects for the 2011 funding of area commissions. This legislation also appropriates $21,000.00 for operating expenses of the Area Commissions.
Emergency action is requested so that payments to the Area Commissions can be made immediately, thereby avoiding interruptions in services.
