Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for road maintenance and snow and ice control and removal operations throughout the City of Columbus' roadway system. To accomplish this mission the division has renovated its Central Outpost located at 650 West Nationwide Boulevard. This outpost will be used to provide better service to the downtown area.

The final items of this renovation include a new water heater, ice maker, air compressor, a fluid handling system, electrical wiring for the fuel system, and concrete retaining walls for both brine and liquid calcium chloride systems. These expenses were originally paid from division operating funds and can and should now be reimbursed from the capital improvement funds established for this purpose. All purchases were made utilizing the competitive bidding process. This ordinance also provides $4,000.00 for the purchase of a public address system to provide outdoor communications and $1,200.00 for miscellaneous fuel system electrical parts and wiring, both to be bid through the Purchasing Office.

Fiscal Impact: These expenses can also be capitalized and this legislation reimburses this amount to the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund. The amount to be reimbursed totals $21,775.10. These funds are budgeted within the Transportation Division's 2005 Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Facilities project and are available from the fall 2005 bond sale.

Emergency action is requested to allow this reimbursement to occur in 2005; this will promote timely and accurate accounting.
