Explanation
Background: There is a need to transfer $ 11,395.47 between projects within the Area Commission Fund to provide monies in the proper projects for the 2007 funding of Area Commissions. Historically the city has provided funds to the Area Commissions who through their daily operational functions incur eligible expenses that require cash expenditures during the program year. Each commission receives $2000.00. This operational funding allows each commission the flexibility and individuality in decision making as they fulfill their functions and responsibilities as outlined in their bylaws and Columbus City Codes.
Fiscal Impact: The legislation transfers $11,395.47 between projects within the Area Commission Fund to provide monies in the proper projects for the 2007 funding of Area Commissions. This legislation also appropriates $36,000 for operating expenses of the Area Commissions.
Emergency action is requested to allow the operational functions of the Area Commissions to continue uninterrupted.
