Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify several contracts with the Columbus Compact Corporation by granting time extensions for Economic Opportunities contracts DL010232, DL003837, DL011075, Neighborhood Life contract DL002045 and Community Values and Cultural Life contracts Dl002043 and DL003838. The original contracts are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006.
