BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce. The contract is a cooperative funding agreement between the Chamber and The City of Columbus for the pursuit of federal funding for transportation and infrastructure improvement projects within the City of Columbus and Franklin County region.

This is a collaborative effort involving the City of Columbus, Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce, the Columbus Partnership, Central Ohio Transit Authority, Columbus Regional Airport Authority, Capitol South, and the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation.

As the services of the consultant will benefit not only the Chamber but also the mission of the City of Columbus, the City has agreed to reimburse the Chamber for a portion of the Chamber's required payments to the consultant.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are provided from the FY 2005 General Fund budget. $43,048 was contracted in 2004 and $75,000 in 2003.
