Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) for the purposes of providing funding and continued support for the Franklin County Greenways Plan for Fiscal Year 2011. MORPC receives funding from various sources including the City of Columbus, State of Ohio, counties and townships to provide legislative representation, training and educational forums, consulting services, and regional networking opportunities.
City funding, along with funds from the State of Ohio, Department of Natural Resources, will allow for continued program funding. The results of this program will be very useful to the Department of Public Utilities by potentially providing better services to the City of Columbus in the form of better floodplain infrastructure, and improved stream water quality. The mission of the program is to foster a better understanding and appreciation for how clean waterways impact our environment. Furthermore, the program provides models, strategies and information for environmental planning process and land use decisions in the community and watersheds. The support covers the period of January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.
