Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
District 6 of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is currently accepting applications for funding from ODOT’s Urban Paving program. This program provides funds for eligible surface treatment and resurfacing projects on state and U.S. Routes within municipal corporations. An annual allocation is set statewide and distributed to each of ODOT’s 12 districts based on each district’s "City State and U.S. Route System" mileage. Funding is provided on an 80-20 basis with the local governments providing the 20% match for project construction costs, however, locals are encouraged to provide more than 20% to stretch the amount of available funds. ODOT District 6 recently implemented an application process to request Urban Paving funds.
This ordinance will authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to request Urban Paving program funds; accept and expend grant funds from the Ohio Department of Transportation; to execute those documents necessary to accept the grant; to administer the grant funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of that award; and to refund any unused funds after the grant period ends if final accounting determines a refund is owed. Separate legislation authorizing the encumbrance and expenditure will be submitted to Council for the awarded grant funds and to encumber and expend necessary matching City funds.
