Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Auditor to correct grant expenditures and move surplus cash within grants for two Public Service Department divisions, Refuse Collection and Transportation, that collectively administer four (4) grant programs. Additionally there is a need to appropriate sufficient funds within the County Auto License Tax Fund, Fund 264, in order to reimburse the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund, Fund 265, for work performed on Snouffer Road.

The Franklin County Anti-Dumping Enforcement contract and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Recycle, Ohio! grant are administered by the Refuse Collection Division. The Ohio Department of Transportation grant, Freeway Management, and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) grant, Paving the Way, are administered by the Transportation Division.

Fiscal Impact: These adjustments will provide for proper accounting of these grants, grant contracts and grant programs and were developed in consultation with and encouragement from the City Auditor's Office. To the extent that monies are transferred from the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund and the need for this transfer could not be foreseen and/or anticipated, this may require minor budget adjustments that will be developed in conjunction with the upcoming midyear financial review.

Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transactions to be posted in the city's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.



Title
To authorize the City Auditor to make any and all appropriate accounting adjustments to properly account for General Government Grant Fund transfers, appropriations and expenditures for several grant programs within the Public Service Department, Transportation and Refuse Collection Divisions, as detailed within the body of this ordinance and to declare an emergency.
