Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, has operated the Paving the Way program since 1990. This program provides up-to-date road construction information to the public and to the media, including information on road closures, detours, and alternative routes; technical advice for construction-related activities and safety tips.

Partial funding for the program is provided by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the federal government [the latter's funding is passed through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)]. Ordinance 1749-2004 passed by City Council on October 10, 2004 authorized the Public Service Director to execute agreements necessary for this purpose.

This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to extend this agreement through December 31, 2007.

Fiscal Impact: No additional funding is required at this time. The legislation will allow current grant funds to be used to the greatest extent possible. A new grant agreement is being made ready for approval when current grant funds are exhausted.

Emergency action is requested to provide for the agreements being extended to avoid any service interruptions.
