Explanation

This ordinance requests authority for the Director of Public Utilities to pay Delaware County for provision of sewer services during the fourth quarter of 2004, based on an agreement entered into in 1991 authorized by Ordinance No. 2424-91. This agreement authorizes discharge of sewage from Delaware County into the sewers of the City of Columbus and from the City of Columbus system into the Delaware County sewer system in order to avoid duplication of wastewater treatment facilities.

Invoices for the fourth quarter months of 2003 were not received and paid until early in 2004. This used part of the funding budgeted for 2004. This ordinance will encumber funds available in the 2004 budget appropriation to allow payment of fourth quarter 2004 charges.

SUPPLIER: Delaware County (31-6400065-015)

FISCAL IMPACT: $600,000.00 is budgeted and available within the division's operating budget for the estimated amount of these payments.

Emergency legislation is being requested because an invoice originally forecasted to be sent to the Division of Sewerage and Drainage in December has been received in November so the 30 day period cannot be used in this situation.

Title

To authorize the Director of Public Utilities to make payment to Delaware County for sewer services provided, to authorize an expenditure of $600,000.00 from the Sewer System Operating Fund and to delcare and emergency. ($600,000.00)
