Explanation
The City of Columbus and the City of Westerville jointly desire to pursue improvements to the intersection of Worthington-Galena Road and Lazelle Road. This improvement involves adding turning lanes at each leg of the intersection, installing traffic signals, constructing new sidewalks and providing for storm drainage. The design component of the project is an addition to the existing contract between the City of Westerville and M. E. Consultants, Incorporated. The City of Columbus Transportation Division will reimburse the City of Westerville for design work for the portion of the project that is within Columbus city limits. This legislation grants consent and proposes cooperation with Westerville for the improvement, transfers monies between projects within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund as appropriate and authorizes the expenditure of up to $127,000.00 to reimburse Westerville for design expenses germane to Columbus.

Fiscal Impact: The City of Columbus' portion of the design work for this intersection improvement is estimated at $127,000.00. This expense is not budgeted per se, however the funds needed have been identified within the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Roadway Improvement project due to surpluses in the Sawmill Road at Case Road/Sawmill Road at Billingsley Road intersection improvement land acquisition (Ordinance 1662-2005) ($100,000.00 surplus); the Brownlee Avenue improvement (Ordinance 1756-2005) ($9,891.60 surplus); and the Galloway Road improvement (Ordinance 1878-2005) ($20,924.15 surplus). Construction costs are unknown at this time and will be budgeted later.

Emergency action is requested to allow design work to commence as soon as possible.
