Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the transfer of $195,261 between OCA codes within the General Government Grant Fund to modify and increase the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) Consortium Agreement with Columbus Housing Partnership. The City of Columbus is the Lead Applicant of the NSP2 Consortium which is an association of seven organizations and government entities formed for the purpose of applying for and implementing NSP2 funds.

Columbus Housing Partnership is a member of the NSP2 Consortium. Prior ordinance number 0156-2010 authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into consortium funding agreements with members of the NSP2 Consortium. The NSP2 funds provide for the acquisition, rehabilitation, redevelopment or demolition of foreclosed, abandoned and vacant properties in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of housing values.

Emergency action is requested to avoid interruptions in program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: $195,261 will be transferred between OCA Codes within the General Government Grant Fund. A partial cancellation of Auditor's Certificate AC031459, Suffix 1 will make the funds available for this expenditure.
