Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Franklin County Engineer's Office was reconstructing a portion of Dublin Road. The Division of Power and Water (DOPW) had plans to construct a water main in this area at a future date. The Division requested Franklin County to construct part of the water main improvements while they were doing the road work. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to reimburse the Franklin County Engineer's Office for water-related expenses incurred during their construction of roadway improvements along Dublin Road and at the intersection of Dublin Road and Trabue Road. This was advantageous for the DOPW because it significantly reduced restoration costs associated with the project. Franklin County has already paid the contractor, and they are requesting a reimbursement of $90,231.17 for the water-related costs associated with the project.
FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation includes a transfer of funds from the Water System Reserve Fund to the Water Works Enlargement Voted Bonds Fund as a temporary measure until such time as the proceeds from a bond sale can be made available. An amendment to the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget is also necessary.
