1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes payment for utility relocation work by AT&T for the Miscellaneous Economic Development - West Franklinton - Cover My Meds project up to the amount of $6,520.11.
The Department of Public Service is engaged in the Miscellaneous Economic Development - West Franklinton - Cover My Meds project. This project consists of widening McKinley Avenue on the north side from the east side of the railroad bridge to Hartford Avenue, and extending to Souder Avenue. Souder Avenue will be widened on the west side between McKinley Avenue and the existing bridge over the Scioto River. Souder Avenue will also be widened on the east side between Rickenbacker Avenue to Dublin Road and utilities will be relocated underground.
In the course of effecting roadway improvements, it is sometimes necessary to force the relocation of utilities from privately held easements or place overhead utilities underground to promote public health, safety and the welfare including the economic development of the City. These relocations are in areas where the City has previously allowed utilities, therefore due to this project there is a need to relocate them underground.
2. FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for this project are available and appropriated within the Streets and Highways Bond Fund, Fund 7704.

Public Service is requesting emergency designation so as to provide funding for payment of utility relocation work completed by AT&T at the earliest possible time as the utility relocation has been completed.
