Explanation
The City of Columbus has been awarded a $296,168.00 grant by the United States Department of Justice to bolster anti-gang activity. This grant was authorized for acceptance and funds appropriated within the General Government Grant Fund by Ordinance 0356-2006 passed by City Council March 6, 2006. Anti-gang initiatives are being pursued by the Public Safety Director's Office and the Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division, Keep Columbus Beautiful program. That ordinance appropriated $220,168.00 to the Safety Director's Office and $76,000.00 to the Refuse Collection Division based on the preliminary grant budget.

Ordinance 0840-2006E passed by Council May 22, 2006 authorized the Refuse Collection Division, Keep Columbus Beautiful program to enter into a contract with the Africentric Personal Development Shop (APDS), Incorporated, to abate negative environmental conditions and develop community beautification projects within a target area bounded by Whittier Street, Mooberry Street, Parsons Avenue and Rhoads Avenue. These activities primarily consist of litter collection and graffiti removal.

The original dates of this contract must be modified to reflect a time extension for the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant that has been sanctioned by the Department of Justice. The effective dates of the APDS contract are being changed to July 1, 2006 (contract commencement date) and November 30, 2006 (contract termination date). All other existing terms and conditions of this contract will remain unchanged.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Emergency action is requested to allow this contract to more closely mirror the effective dates of the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant that provides its funding.
