Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to pay the Franklin County Department of Public Facilities Management $441,097.50 for the City's portion of expenses associated with the exterior sealing of the Municipal Court Building, 375 South High Street. On November 21, 1975, the City of Columbus entered into a lease agreement (CT-05851) with the Franklin County Commissioners that provided for a debt service/lease payment for the Municipal Court Building. The agreement was authorized by Ordinance No. 1589-75 and provides office space for the Municipal Courts, the Municipal Court Clerk, and City Attorney Prosecutor's office. Per the agreement, Franklin County is responsible for all structural and exterior repairs and the costs shall be prorated between Franklin County and the City of Columbus.

The payment for the architectural services in the amount of $20,902.50 was previously authorized by Ordinance 1925-2004 (passed November 22, 2004). This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of the remaining budgete...
