Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a contract with Kathy Grace, 1340 Hunter Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, for the purpose of instructing ceramics classes at the Cultural Arts Center.
This contract will be for services from February 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011, and will be entirely reimbursed by student registration fees.
The Cultural Arts Center has been a leader in visual arts studio instruction for 30 years and the public has come to rely on the center. Due to Ms. Grace's great skills and talent, her class demand and enrollment continues to grow.
In 2009 we expended $18,881.90 for Ms. Grace's contracts. In 2010 we anticipate the need to encumber a total of $31,297.50 from which all expenditures will be entirely reimbursed by student registration fees. This contract will be for services between February 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011. Ms. Grace will receive $40 for each student that registers for one of her three-hour classes held for eight weeks. We offer six, eight-week sessions per year.
Due to the unique skills, abilities and teaching experience necessary, the department is requesting the waiver of the bidding provisions of the Columbus City Codes to enter into a contract with Kathy Grace.

Fiscal Impact:
$31,297.50 is budgeted from the Recreation and Parks Operating Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract. (contingent on passage of 2010 Other Funds appropriation ord.)
