Explanation

Background: The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) will be accepting Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) applications through September 30, 2004. This is an opportunity for the City to secure outside funding for various roadway improvement projects. MORPC has up to $165,887,245 to distribute to all applicants between 2005 and 2012. The Transportation Improvement Program is composed of these component sub-programs: The Surface Transportation Program (STP); the Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) and the Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality Program (CM/AQ). MORPC requires that a designated official be authorized to submit said applications and execute project agreements for approved projects. MORPC has requested that the City "reauthorize" projects submitted longer than two years ago to reaffirm the City's continuing interest.

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to submit applications and to execute agreements for approved projects. Specific projects for which applications will likely be submitted are listed within the body of this ordinance.

Fiscal Impact: The TIP program can fund up to eighty percent (80%) of total right-of-way and construction expenses. Preliminary engineering and design expenses are not eligible for funding. No financial participation is required at this time. City funds will be expended within design and/or construction contracts that will be submitted in advance to City Council for approval.

Emergency action is requested to meet MORPC's September 30, 2004, application submittal deadline.
