Explanation

The Refuse Collection Division is the recipient of a $141,500.00 "Recycle, Ohio!" grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention. This is used to partially underwrite 2004 operations of the Keep Columbus Beautiful Program. This grant requires a City match for the 2004 grant. City matching funds in the amount of $28,300.00 are budgeted in the 2004 Refuse Collection Division's General Fund appropriation. This ordinance transfers the City match money from the General Fund to the General Government Grant Fund, appropriates it there, and authorizes its expenditure for approved program-related expenses.

Emergency action is requested to provide for efficient posting of these transactions in the interests of timely and accurate financial reporting and to allow for uninterrupted program expenditures.
