Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, is engaged in the North High Street (Lane Avenue to Arcadia Avenue) project as part of the Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (NCR) program (see map). Part of this project involves eliminating all overhead utility lines within the project limits. This legislation establishes $325,000.00 to reimburse private utilities that have facilities that need to be relocated and $50,000.00 for force account work performed by the Electricity and Transportation Divisions. The majority of the utility reimbursements will be for American Electric Power (AEP) although SBC, XO Communications, Time-Warner, and city utilities all have items that need relocation.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance certifies against the Special Income Tax Fund in the amount of $375,000.00. The Special Income Tax Fund certification is a temporary measure until the City sells notes or bonds to fund this capital improvement and is necessary because the Transportation Division has exhausted all cash in its 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund.

Emergency action is requested to allow utility relocation work to commence immediately and be completed during the peak construction period.

($375,000.00)
