Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a not-for-profit service contract with the Greater Columbus Sports Commission for support of The Collective at Wasserman (The Collective). The Greater Columbus Sports Commission is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to rally Columbus to compete and win sporting events, providing a singular athlete and fan experience and positively impacting image, economy, and lifestyle. This mission closely aligns with that of The Collective, which is dedicated to advancing the power of women through sport, music, and entertainment.
The Collective will work to understand the existing position that women hold in our community - from C-Suite to Stay-at-Home mothers - so that together our community can craft a viable path to achieve more opportunity and more equity through the power of sport. The Collective will develop a new point-of-view platform as well as long-term strategic plans regarding women-centered programs and initiatives. This will involve extensive custom research, program development, and program delivery to advance opportunity and equity for women in our community.
This contract is awarded in accordance with the relevant provisions of Columbus City Code Section 329.30 relating to awarding not-for-profit service contracts. The services provided cannot be provided by existing city employees because these services are beyond the City’s current staffing capacity to provide.
Emergency Designation: Emergency action is requested so that necessary research, as well as program development and delivery can commence as quickly as possible.
