Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance transfers funds within the General Fund and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to amend a contract with ACP Visioning and Planning to assist with managing the Columbus 2012 Bicentennial Visioning Process to create the Blueprint for the Bicentennial.
