Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the amendment of Sections 333.04 and 333.05 of the Columbus City Codes, 1959, to update capital improvement budget processes. Currently, departments submit their proposed capital improvements program requests to the Department of Finance and Management by July 15th each year. This annual submission date needs to be changed to later in the year (September 15th) to allow for more accurate submissions. In addition, the Department of Development can easily access capital improvement budget amendments through the Legistar system. Thus, it is no longer necessary to send hard copies of such amendments to the director of the development department.

EMERGENCY ACTION: This ordinance is submitted as emergency in order to provide departments more time in preparing their proposed 2012-2017 Capital Improvement Program requests. The new submission date will be September 15th of each year.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.
