Explanation
Background: This ordinance appropriates $460,000.00 within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund, Transportation Division, Public Service Department, for anticipated expenditures that will be incurred by the Transportation Division for the balance of 2005. It authorizes the Public Service Director to establish agreements with private vendors for snow and ice removal services that total $75,000.00 for the upcoming 2005-2006 winter and authorizes the Finance Director to modify and increase existing purchase orders for rock salt ($288,000.00) and liquid calcium chloride ($40,000.00).

It also authorizes the reimbursement to the Franklin County Engineering Department $240,000.00 for snow and ice removal services for the 2004-2005 winter season from existing appropriation authority within this Fund. To capture operating efficiencies, county and city forces occasionally service portions of the others' roadways that lie within the other's jurisdiction. The county always services more city roadways than the city services county roadways. The entities settle up once each year and this payment represents the net amount due the county.

Fiscal Impact: The Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund can support this additional appropriation based on anticipated revenues. The original 2005 appropriation of $2.8 million within this Fund was authorized by Ordinance 0034-2005 passed by City Council January 24, 2005. Another appropriation/expenditure ordinance, Ordinance 1140-2005, is in process.

Emergency action is being requested to make these funds availale to the division as soon as practical to meet anticipated 2005 needs.
