Explanation
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 16 are prorated to local jurisdictions based on the total funds ultimately awarded to each jurisdiction. The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, was awarded a total of $7,400,751.00 (ADA Curb Ramp Installation, $4,389,627.00; Hard Road-Linworth Road to Smoky Row Road, $3,011,124.00). The division's administrative cost billing as determined by MORPC is .6232 percent of this total, or $46,121.00.
A separate appropriation ordinance within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund is making funds available for MORPC's costs and other expenses. The Public Utilities Department is billed separately for its administrative costs.
Emergency action is requested to expedite payment to MORPC.
