Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the annual appropriation of monies within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund for the Transportation Division. This $5.00 permissive tax has been levied by the City of Columbus since 1987. This money is used for division operating expenses consistent with the 2008 budget. The amount being appropriated within this ordinance is $3,769,000.00. Proposed expenditures are estimates and are subject to change. Where appropriate, expenditure ordinances will be submitted to City Council for approval to procure these commodities and services.

Fiscal Impact: Annual revenue into this Fund is consistently in the $3,000,000.00 to $3,500,000.00 range. Ordinance 0024-2007 passed by City Council January 30, 2007, authorized the 2007 appropriation of $3,878,000.00. The Transportation Division has expended and/or encumbered nearly all funds appropriated during 2007.

Emergency action is requested to make these funds available to the division as soon as practical to meet anticipated 2008 needs.
