Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes transfer of $10,000 within the General Fund, appropriates $76,000 from the Miranova TIF City Riverfront Vision Account and authorizes various expenditures related to the anticipated fall launch of a national call for a master developer for redevelopment of the Whittier Peninsula and preparation of the Request for Qualification materials and supporting documentation. Specifically, these expenditures will be used for:
· The advertisement, preparation of materials and facilitation activities associated with the national call, Request for Qualifications package and graphics, developer pre-submission meeting and site tour, and selection committee briefing and site tour and invitations to submit proposals.
· Consultant assistance with the preparation of materials and graphics associated with the national call for a master developer, pre-submission meeting and site tour and selection committee briefing and site tour.
· Structural engineering assessment of the re-use portion of the former Lazarus Warehouse building.
· A design challenge focusing on the neighborhood development.

The redevelopment of the Whittier Peninsula implements the goals and objectives of the Whittier Reach section of the Riverfront Vision, a land use and development plan adopted by Columbus City Council in 1998. It also advances provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding agreement entered into by the city, Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks and Audubon Ohio to develop a park, nature center and mixed-use neighborhood on the Whittier Peninsula.

FISCAL IMPACT: The total amount of the expenditures will be $86,000. This legislation authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $76,000 from the Miranova TIF - City Riverfront Vision Account and the transfer and expenditure of $10,000 from the General Fund, Effective Initiatives Fund, which is part of the Citywide account within the Department of Finance. ...
