Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget and transfers $600,000.00 within the Storm Sewer Bonds Fund and to the Scioto River West Floodwall Fund to make a payment to the Department of the Army, Huntington District, Corps of Engineers, for the City's share of the total project cost required for construction of the West Columbus Local Protection Project (WCLPP), Capital Improvements Project No. 610892, in Federal fiscal year 2005. The current estimate of the City's total share of project costs, $37.6 million dollars, as well as the method by which the City is required to provide said funds are set forth in Article VI of the modified Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA), and accompanying financing plan as prepared by the Army Corps of Engineers.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: The Division is requesting that this legislation be considered an emergency measure in order to comply with the Corps of Engineer's project schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT: The project for which this legislation requests fund transfer currently has an insufficient balance to allow for the aforementioned expenditure. This transfer does not reflect any changes to the projects planned in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget (CIB). The change is a temporary measure for the project that is being designed or constructed to maintain efficient cash flow within Stormwater CIB. Funds will be made available for all approved projects as needed.
