Explanation
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is accepting Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) Round 22 applications for the State Capital Improvements Program (SCIP) through September 10, 2007. OPWC requires that a designated official be authorized to submit said applications and execute project agreements for approved projects. MORPC serves in a staff support capacity to the District Three (Franklin County) Public Works Integrating Committee.

OPWC requires legislation which will authorize the Public Utilities Director to submit applications for financial assistance and to execute project agreements for approved projects. Additionally, the OPWC SCIP program will award no interest loans, grants, and loan assistance in the form of interest payments to successful program participants. Therefore, the applications and subsequent program agreements may also require approval from the Finance and Management Director and City Auditor to sign for funding use certifications, local match availability, and to certify loan portion repayment.

Fiscal Impact: Approval of this legislation will provide an opportunity to secure loans, grants, and credit enhancement funds for various Division of Sewerage and Drainage projects. The approximate available funding to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee for SCIP is $12.260 million. Funds for the City's share of these programs are included in the 2007 to 2011 Capital Improvements Plan. No financial participation is required at this time. City funds will be approved in the form of design contracts and/or construction contracts that will be submitted for Council's approval. City project funds and City matching funds may be required depending on the category of the approved funding program.
