Explanation
Background
Ordinance 1912-2006 authorized the City Auditor to create Fund 294 "1111 East Broad Street" for the revenues and expenditures associated with operating the City facility located at that address. The building houses offices of various City Departments, as well as non-city tenants. Lease payments from these non-city tenants offset the costs of maintaining the facility. The City now has a similar situation with the Ohio State University Boathouse. The City entered into a 40 year lease with OSU and related parties for the operation of the boathouse. The City Department of Recreation and Parks will provide annually an estimate of the proportionate share of operations for the related parties to remit to the City. This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to continue accounting for the 1111 East Broad Street revenue and expenditures in subfund 001 of Fund 294, and to add subfund 002 titled "OSU Boathouse" for the revenue and expenditures associated with boathouse operations. This ordinance also authorizes the City auditor to change the title of Fund 294 to "Property Management," and will allow additional subfunds to be created within this fund in the future for similar purposes as needed.
Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact to the accounting changes authorized in this ordinance.
