The sole proposal received by the August 20, 2003 deadline was from the current metalsmith instructor, Kristi Kloss. Upon its review, it is recommended that the services of Kristi Kloss, 43 East Markison Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, 43207, be secured, as she best meets the qualifications and needs of the department. A contract with Kristi Kloss (DE 041458) in the amount of $18,280.00 ($14,110.00 expended) expired 8/16/2003 and the additional funding required will exceed the $20,000.00 limit, thereby requiring this legislation.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible.
