The Columbus City Attorney’s Office entered into a contract with Homeland Language Services LLC for interpreter and translation services on March 1, 2024, for up to $10,000.00. This legislation authorizes the City Attorney to modify (Modification No. 1) the current contract and increase it by $4,000.00, and to declare an emergency in order to ensure the City Attorney’s Office has continued interpreter and translation services.
