Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with All About Drains utilizing Universal Term Contract FL003479, which expires 3/30/2010, to provide emergency repair services (plumbing) to low and moderate-income households in Columbus as part of the Emergency Repair Program. Funding in the amount of $14,761 is available from the Housing Preservation Fund. These additional funds are now available due to canceled emergency repair contracts.

Emergency Repair Program services include heating, plumbing, electrical and other emergency home repairs. These services are needed to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Columbus.

The Housing Preservation Fund was established to preserve the local supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low-income families. Funds are used to meet the housing needs identified in the Consolidated Plan to correct substandard and deteriorating conditions of homes owned by low and moderate- income households. The fund provides eligible homeowners with assistance for home repairs critical to preserving the housing stock and enabling homeowners to remain in their homes.

Emergency action is necessary to avoid interruptions in the delivery of vital program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $14,761 from the Housing Preservation Fund to provide the continued operation of the Emergency Repair Program. These funds are available due to canceled emergency repair contracts.
