Explanation
Background: Due to the high number of special events scheduled throughout the year in the Arena District, Nationwide Realty and the Columbus Division of Police (CPD) believe it is mutually beneficial for CPD to have an additional presence in the immediate area to allow its officers on-duty in this area access to a desk and city computers connected to city network services to facilitate filing of reports, checking information, and similar activities without officers having to travel back to the precinct to perform these activities. In support of CPD operations serving special events held in the Arena District, Nationwide Realty Management, LLCt desires to provide without charge approximately 224 square feet of shared office space and a parking space for a CPD cruiser at its office building located 343 N. Front Street. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to execute a license agreement with Nationwide Realty Management, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, (“Licensor”), for CPD shared occupancy of Suite 150 and use of a designated parking space for one CPD cruiser. The license agreement is for a five (5) year term. This legislation is presented as an emergency measure to allow CPD to occupy the shared office space at the earliest date possible to provide an increased police presence and operational capabilities in the Arena District.
Fiscal Impact: There is no direct cost associated with the license agreement.
Emergency Action: Emergency action is requested to allow for shared occupancy of the licensed office space by the Columbus Division of Police to provide an increased presence and CPD operational capabilities in the Arena District at the earliest possible date.
