Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of monies within the Municipal Motor Vehicle Tax Fund, fund 266, and authorizes the City Auditor to transfer funds between object levels, in order to continue utility services without interruption through December 31, 2007. This ordinance also authorizes the expenditure for snow removal performed by Franklin County for the 2006-2007 winter season and for the purchase of emulsion from the universal term contract (UTC) from Phillips Oil.

Expenditures for city electricity is projected to be higher than budgeted amounts making it necessary for additional appropriation through December 31, 2007 ($168,569.00). Due to winter storms the week of February 12, 2007, the Franklin County Engineer also incurred higher than normal costs for snow removal on behalf of the City of Columbus ($300,000.00). Street repair and maintenance operations have also experienced additional patching and repair of roadway surfaces as a result of the 2006-2007 winter season causing the need for additional asphalt emulsion ($50,000.00).

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $518,569.00 are budgeted and available within the Transportation Division's 2007 Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax fund appropriation.

Emergency action is requested to make these funds available to the division as soon as practical to meet anticipated 2007 needs.
