Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes City Council to modify ordinance 1753-2008 passed November 25, 2008. It also authorizes the City Auditor to re-assign AC 029227 and make it payable to Kenneth W. Borror Consulting Services instead of to Franklin County. This ordinance will also authorize the Public Safety Director to enter into a contract modification with Kenneth W. Borror for E-911 consulting services for the Support Services Division.

However, due to an agreement between the City and the County, the contract will instead continue to reside with Columbus. As a result, this legislation now authorizes the Director of Public Safety to enter into a contract modification with Kenneth W. Borror for E-911 Consulting Services, for the same time period with renewal options.
Columbus and Franklin County need a contract for services to continuously update data information for all E-911 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) entities within the area; and coordinate these updates with PUCO, AT&T, and Local, State, and Federal Governments, to ensure uninterrupted wireless and E-911 services for the City of Columbus and Franklin County.
Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested due to the need to continue this contract with Ken Borror and ensure uninterrupted wire line and wireless services for both the City and the County.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no net fiscal impact on the 2009 budget. The Auditor's Certificate was established with the County in 2008. This legislation requests that the original certificate established for the County be re-assigned to Kenneth B. Borror Consulting Services....
