Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Administrative and Presiding Judge of the Franklin County Municipal Court to enter into contract with Christy K. Radigan dba C & B Services, Inc. and authorizes the expenditure of up to $21,000 for mediation services for the Court.

In 1992, Christy K. Radigan became a volunteer in the Court's mediation program. In May of 2004, she was hired as a part-time staff member to provide coordinator services for the mediation program. In June 2005, her hours were increased to allow her to provide additional mediation services. Recently it was determined that Ms. Radigan, also on contract with another city agency could not be both on the city payroll and providing services on contract with another agency. However, Ms. Radigan is a highly skilled mediator and mediation trainer and the services she provides are vital to the success of the Court's program. The Court has determined that, for continuity of service, it is in its best interest to procure mediation services from Christy K. Radigan dba C & B Services, Inc. and as such, the Court requests that the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code be waived.

Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the city's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

Contract Compliance: Christy K. Radigan dba C & B Services, Inc. 370524923

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this ordinance were originally budgeted as personnel expenses within the Court's 2006 appropriations. A transfer of appropriation authority from the personnel category to the services category will be necessary.
