Explanation
Background: The City of Columbus is engaged in the Group 10 Intersection Improvement project. The purpose of this project is to improve safety at various intersections including the intersections of Trabue and Walcutt Roads and Hudson and North High Streets. Initial funding in the amount of $301,500.00, which allowed the City Attorney's Office Real Estate Division to hire professional services and begin acquisition of necessary right-of-way, was established pursuant to Ordinance 3008-1999 passed December 13, 1999. In early 2002 acquisition for this project was put on hold to allow for redesign of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps and crosswalks. At this time it is necessary to increase the initial funding to allow acquisition related activities to resume. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to expend an additional $20,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary for the acquisition of fee simple title and lesser interests in and to property needed for this intersection improvement project.

Fiscal Impact: Additional acquisition related expenses are currently estimated to be $20,000.00 for this project. Monies to pay for these costs are budgeted and available within the Federal/State Match project in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. This ordinance transfers these monies to the State Issue Two Street Projects Fund, appropriates them there and authorizes their expenditure.

Emergency action is requested to allow acquisition-related activities to resume as soon as possible so that construction of the proposed improvements can begin in 2005. Right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation activities traditionally require two (2) years to complete.
