Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service is responsible for routine and emergency maintenance and rehabilitation of the roadway system, snow and ice removal and control operations, the installation and maintenance of roadway signage and lighting, and refuse collection.

To meet these responsibilities, the Department of Public Service employs an extensive and varied fleet of vehicles. In order to maximize utility of the fleet, it is necessary that a portion of these vehicles be equipped with voice radios and Global Positioning System/Automatic Vehicle Location (GPS/AVL) equipment. This enables greater coordination of fleet units by enhancing the ability of supervisors to dispatch vehicles to needed locations at a moment's notice

The Department utilizes an 800 MHz radio system owned and operated by Franklin County and coordinated by the Central Ohio Communication Advisory Committee for voice transmissions. The 450 MHz radio system, also owned and operated by the Franklin County, is the communications system used for the GPS/AVL system.

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into an agreement with Franklin County and authorizes the expenditure of $36,000.00 from the General Fund and $107,120.40 from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund to pay for the use of this system.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this expenditure are budgeted in the amount of $36,000.00 within the General Fund's 2011 appropriation and $107,120.40 within the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund's 2011 appropriation.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to ensure the uninterrupted 800 MHz and 450 MHz radio service.
