Explanation
Background: The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) will be accepting Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) Round 18 applications for the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) and State Capital Improvement Program until 5:00 p.m., September 8, 2003. OPWC requires that a designated official be authorized to submit said applications and execute project agreements for approved projects.
This legislation will authorize the Public Service Director to submit applications and to execute project agreements for approved projects.
Fiscal Impact: Approval of this legislation will provide an opportunity to secure funds for various projects. The approximate available funding to the District Three Public Works Integrating Committee is $18,400,000.00. Based on population, the City of Columbus share can be 40%, more or less, of that amount. Funds for the City's share of these programs are included in the 2003 to 2008 Capital Improvement Plan. No financial participation is required at this time. City funds will be approved in the form of design contracts and/or construction contracts, which will be submitted for Council approval.
