Explanation

BACKGROUND:

In order to stimulate revitalization of the Morse Road corridor, the Northland residential and business community, with the support of the city of Columbus, formed Northland Alliance, Inc. Since its inception in early 2001, Northland Alliance, Inc. has been cooperatively working with the city of Columbus on the revitalization efforts. It has been recognized that the city of Columbus should further support the group and its efforts by entering into a contract that will allow the group to continue its current level of operation. This legislation authorizes the expenditure of $75,000 from General Fund monies for a contract with Northland Alliance, Inc.

The funding for the Northland Alliance is for administrative costs associated with operations of the organization. One of the efforts of Northland Alliance is the creation of a Special Improvement District on Morse Road. This effort is very labor intensive and the funding for Northland Alliance will be used for salaries and other expenses associated with the formation of a Special Improvement District.

Emergency action is requested so that the agreement with Northland Alliance, Inc. can be executed immediately to avoid an interruption in services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$75,000 is allocated for this contract from the 2006 General Fund budget.
