Explanation
Pursuant to Ordinance 0115-1981 passed January 19, 1981, the Public Service Director entered into an agreement with the Franklin County Board of Commissioners that provides for the removal of snow and ice from certain city streets by Franklin County Engineering Department forces and the removal of snow and ice from certain county streets by city Transportation Division forces. This arrangement provides for the most efficient use of both entities' snow removal assets. Extensive records are maintained of the costs each entity incurs on the other's roadways and subsequent to the conclusion of this activity every year, the parties "settle up" their costs. During the winter of 2005-2006, the Franklin County Engineer performed snow and ice removal on 189.28 lane miles of city roads and the division did so on 45.90 lane miles of county roads. The net cost to the city is $144,981.85; the city received the county engineer's invoice for this on June 29, 2006. This ordinance provides for payment of this amount to the Franklin County Engineer.

The payment for the 2003-2004 winter season was $238,520.08; last year's payment for the 2004-2005 winter season was $216,089.64.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division has budgeted $615,000.00 in the 2006 Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund appropriation for contracted services (utilities excepted). This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $144,981.85.

Emergency action is requested to provide for reimbursing the County Engineer as soon as possible in the interest of good inter-jurisdictional relations and the fact that these services were provided in good faith in accordance with Ordinance 0115-1981.
