Explanation
This ordinance reauthorizes the creation of a budget reservation and purchase order that was cancelled prior to the submission of final invoices.
In 2022, Columbus City Council established an area commission training program in partnership with the United Way of Central Ohio (UWCO). In coordination with city staff and external partners, UWCO delivered supplemental training for area commissioners that was focused on zoning reform, population growth and its impact, and other content focused on community building.
