Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) serves as staff to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee. This committee provides input and makes recommendations to the Ohio Public Works Commission for fund distribution for the State Capital Improvement Program and the Local Transportation Improvement Program. MORPC's costs for Round 23 are prorated to local jurisdictions based on the total funds ultimately awarded to each jurisdiction.

The Department Public Service, Division of Design and Construction, was awarded a total of $9,499,047.00 for the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Hilliard Rome Road/Roberts Rd - Westchester Woods Blvd, Roadway Improvements - Emerald Parkway/Tuttle Crossing Blvd - Rings Road, and the Intersection Improvements - Thomas Lane at Olentangy River Road projects. The Division's administrative cost as determined by MORPC is .239385441% of this total, or $22,739.34 and is authorized by this legislation.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $3,893.36 for the cost of the Intersection Improvements - Thomas Lane at Olentangy River Road project will be provided by Ohio Health. These monies will be appropriated and expended within the Thomas Lane Grant in the Local Transportation Improvement Fund. Funding in the amount of $18,845.98 is needed for the cost of the other two projects. This expense can be accommodated by appropriating and transferring funds needed in the amount of $18,845.98 from the Special Income Tax Fund. Bonds have yet to be sold for the whole project, necessitating a certification of $18,845.98 against the Special Income Tax Fund. Upon sale of bonds, this will be reimbursed. These Funds will then be Transferred to, appropriated, and expended from the Local Transportation Improvement Fund.
