Explanation

BACKGROUND: Community Research Partners is an active partner with the City of Columbus. They have received grant funds to provide a community data system (CDS), available to various social agencies and the City of Columbus. CDS users will be able to create customized maps, tables and reports for a variety of geographic areas, including census block groups, census tracts, neighborhoods, zip codes and school feeder patterns. Drawing upon a wealth of social, demographic and real property data, CDS users have a powerful tool that greatly enhances their ability to identify community needs, plan new programs, allocate and manage resources and target improvements. The various departments and divisions of the City of Columbus have been contributing data to this system, as have social service agencies and school systems in Franklin County. Updating the city's share of this data would be simplified, and accuracy would be better served, if the city GIS and the Community Research Partners CDS were located within the same network. Community Research Partners wishes to enter into a contract with the Department of Technology to reimburse the city for the costs of providing the Internet hosting, and data sharing and maintenance activities. It is in the city's best interest to support this ground breaking regional data sharing effort.

FISCAL IMPACT: All costs for these services will be reimbursed to the Department of Technology and deposited within the Department of Technology internal service fund.

To authorize the Director of the Department of Technology to enter into a revenue contract with Community Research Partners to provide web hosting and data sharing and maintenance services for the Community Research Partners' community data system in the amount of $20,000.00 ($20,000.00)
