Explanation
BACKGROUND: In 2007 the City established the Neighborhood Health Center Capital Reserve Fund for the purpose of receiving rental payments from the lease of its neighborhood health centers in order to provide funding to cover the costs related to the repair, replacement, and maintenance of interior and exterior building components and for the replacement of equipment or furnishing that have reached the end of their useful life in the City's neighborhood health centers. This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management Department, Real Estate Management Office and Office of Construction Management to make expenditures for labor, materials, equipment, and services in conjunction with various maintenance and facilities upgrades that are unplanned but will be necessary. Work may include any type of work related to the renovation of City-owned neighborhood health facilities, including design services, electrical, HVAC, flooring, and plumbing, or other FF&E items all of which will be for projects under $20,000. All work will be done in accordance with the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Codes. Funding for these expenditures is from the Neighborhood Health Center Capital Reserve Fund (Fund 784).
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of up to $80,000.00 from the cash reserves of the Neighborhood Health Center Capital Reserve Fund (Fund 784).
