Explanation

BACKGROUND:
On February 23, 2009 Columbus City Council passed ordinance number 0222-2009 authorizing the Columbus City Treasurer's Office to modify and extend various banking services contracts, among which was a contract for credit card processing services, for the period of March 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010, on behalf of various city divisions. On April 6, a contract modification to provide funding for the License Section of the Division of Support Services, Department of Public Safety was authorized by Columbus City Council on ordinance number 0459-2009. Another contract modification is now being sought on behalf of the Department of Public Service, Division of Mobility Options and the Department of Development, Building Services Division that both require additional funding. This ordinance increases the contract for credit card processing services. The current contract amount is $704,400. The contract modification will increase the contract amount by $81,000 to $785,400.

FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient resources are available for the increase in the contract amount on behalf of the Development Department, Building Services Division and the Public Service Department, Division of Mobility Options.

Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the city's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
