Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the reimbursement to the Franklin County Engineer's Office $381,290.94 for snow and ice removal services for the 2010-2011 winter season from existing appropriation authority within this Fund. To capture operating efficiencies, county and city forces occasionally service portions of the others' roadways that lie within the other's jurisdiction. The county always services more city roadways than the city services county roadways. The entities settle up once each year and this payment represents the net amount due the county.

Additional appropriation of $750,000.00 is being established from the unappropriated balance of the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund.
This appropriation will make available funding in the amount of $333,372.94 in this Fund for this contracted service.
This ordinance also authorizes the expenditure of $47,918.00 from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund for this service
This ordinance authorizes a total expenditure of $381,290.94.


3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
Emergency action is requested to provide reimbursement to the Franklin County Engineer as soon as possible in the interest of good inter-jurisdictional relations.
