Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into an agreement with the German Village Society to support Project ResiDenCity. Project ResiDenCity is a small group project for Leadership Columbus. The German Village Society is serving as the class' fiscal agent. This legislation also authorizes the appropriation of $7,500 and the expenditure of $7,500 from the Jobs Growth Fund for this purpose.

The goal of Project ResiDenCity is to increase the number of middle and upper-middle income households living in the Downtown Columbus through this attraction campaign directed at professionals who are being recruited from outside the region and relocating to the area. The objective of the project is to produce a video and interactive DVD highlighting the benefits of urban living and distribute to local corporations' HR departments and area real estate professionals while encouraging each group to incorporate the DVD into relocation packets.

Emergency action is requested to allow the project to be completed with Leadership Columbus' class cycle.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract will consist of $7,500 from the Jobs Growth Fund.
