Explanation

BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 2213-2006, passed by City Council on December 13, 2006, authorized the Department of Finance and Management, Office of Construction Management to enter into a contract for the master plan and design for renovation of 120 West Gay Street, the former Police Headquarters building. As a part of the renovation of 120 West Gay Street, it is necessary to install a traffic signal mast arm pole. The renovation is necessary to allow ingress and egress from the City Hall parking lot to Gay and Front Streets. It will help eliminate safety hazards and congestion in the vicinity, while promoting pedestrian safety and expediting vehicular traffic flow.

Upon completion of the renovations of 120 West Gay Street, the Department of Human Resources, Income Tax Division, Civil Service Commission, Safety Director's Office, Purchasing Office, and the City Attorney's Office will relocate to the building. The renovation is one part of a larger downtown campus plan that will enable the City to reduce the number of buildings it operates thereby reducing operational costs, while producing a more welcoming and customer friendly environment for City workers and the general public.

The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operations will install the traffic signal mast arm pole. The Division of Planning and Operations focuses on transportation infrastructure. This legislation will establish an encumbrance against which the Department of Public Service, Division of Planning and Operations, can invoice for various expenditures for labor, material, and equipment for the installation of the traffic signal mast arm pole at Gay and Front Streets.

Emergency action is requested so the installation of necessary traffic control devices can occur, thereby eliminating safety hazards and congestion in the vicinity.
