Explanation
BACKGROUND

The City Treasurer respectfully requests authorization to modify contracts with Huntington and National City Bank by increasing the appropriation amounts by $2,000.00 and $5,000.00 respectively. Original cost estimates have proven to be lower than anticipated due to a decrease in the banks' earning credit rates. Therefore there is an immediate need to increase appropriation levels and authorize the expenditure as may be necessary from the General Fund for services within the guidelines set forth in the original bid document.



Title

To authorize the City Treasurer to modify contracts for banking services with Huntington for $2,000.00 and National City Bank for $5,000.00; to authorize the expenditure of up to $7,000.00 from the General Fund and to declare an emergency ($7,000.00).


Body

Whereas, the City Treasurer wishes to extend the contracts with National City Bank and Huntington for the provision of banking services as provided in a Request for Proposal issued on July 11, 1995 and for which approval for extensions of such contracts was approved by the Columbus Depository Commission at a meeting held on December 28, 2002, and

Whereas an emergency exists in the usual daily operations of various City divisions, as it is immediately necessary to extend existing contracts cited below, providing banking services necessary for the daily operations of normal business activities of the City of Columbus; now therefore,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS
