Explanation

Pursuant to Ordinance 0115-1981 passed January 19, 1981, the Public Service Director entered into an agreement with the Franklin County Board of Commissioners that provides for the removal of snow and ice from certain city streets by Franklin County Engineering Department forces and the removal of snow and ice from certain county streets by City of Columbus Transportation Division forces. This arrangement provides for the most efficient use of both entities' snow removal assets. Extensive records are maintained of the costs each entity incurs on the other's roadways and subsequent to the conclusion of this activity every year, the parties "settle up" their costs. During the winter of 2003-2004, the Franklin County Engineer performed snow and ice removal on 226.91 lane miles of city roads and the division did so on 9.2 lane miles of county roads. The net cost to the city is $238,520.08; the City received the county engineer's invoice for this on June 7, 2004. This ordinance provides for payment of this amount to the Franklin County Engineer.

The payment for the 2001-2002 winter season was $92,393.98; last year's payment for the 2002-2003 winter season was $371,324.76.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $730,000.00 in the 2004 Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund appropriation. This ordinance authorizes and expenditure of $238,520.08.

Emergency action is requested to provide for reimbursing the county engineer as soon as possible in the interest of good inter-jurisdictional relations.
