Explanation

Background: The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, affects roadway improvement projects utilizing capital improvement funds that may include grant funding from other jurisdictions such as the State of Ohio (Department of Transportation and Ohio Public Works Commission), Franklin County and/or the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. The capital improvement and grant monies are deposited into specific Funds based on the origin of the grantor funds. At the conclusion of each capital improvement project a closeout process occurs by which remaining monies in each project are either returned to the granting agency (if the other entity fronted the money) or are made available for other roadway capital improvement purposes (if expenses were reimbursed to the City of Columbus).

This legislation also transfers funds from the Federal State Highway Engineering Grant Fund to the Streets and Highway Improvement Fund, Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund, and Permanent Improvement Fund. This is necessary to restore monies to projects in these funds due to the cancellation of AC027488 for the Town Street reconstruction project established within ordinance 1243-2007 due to modificaton of the project.

Fiscal Impact: This ordinance transfers $1,448,802.28 between projects within the Local Transportation Improvement Project Fund to make money available for the Sullivant/Demorest Improvement and Lane Avenue projects. This funding transfer is necessary in order to close these two grant funded projects (they will be be legislated separately). This ordinance also transfers $2,618,330.21 from the Federal State Highway Engineering Fund to the Voted Sanitary Sewer Bond Fund ($1,785,239.06), the Permanent Improvement Fund ($65,011.99), and the Streets and Highway Improvement Fund ($768,079.16) due to the cancellation of AC027488. As well, some of the transferred money will be utilized for other roadway and Transportation-related facilities capital ...
