Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify contract DL005495 with the United Way of Franklin County. The modifications include extending the contract to January 31, 2005 and increasing the contract amount by $79,728.00 for sponsorship of the Operation Feed initiative in 2004. Operation Feed is an annual campaign designed to collect resources (i.e., food, money) for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank (MOFB) and to elevate awareness of the issue of hunger in the Central Ohio community. In addition to three-day supplies of food available through the pantries for individuals and families, food and supplies from MOFB also allow soup kitchens to serve daily hot meals throughout the month and other non-profits to provide nutritious snacks and meals to clients. Funds from this contract are used by United Way of Franklin County to cover administrative expenses associated with this campaign and by the Mid-Ohio Food Bank to support its daily operations.

This ordinance is presented as an emergency to allow program services to continue without interruption and to facilitate payment of accrued program expenses associated with operations.

FISCAL IMPACT:
A total of $79,728.00 was allocated to United Way of Franklin County to support the Operation Feed program. These funds are provided from the FY 2004 City General Fund.
