Explanation
The City is the owner of a building located at 475 Elwood Avenue that was formerly leased until May 31, 2007 by the Child Development Council of Franklin County ("CDCFC") for a Head Start program. Since that time, the federal grant for the administration of Head Start for this area has been awarded to the Columbus Urban League. The Columbus Urban League now desires to lease 475 Elwood Avenue for use as a Head Start facility. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary to enter into a lease agreement with the Columbus Urban League.
Fiscal Impact: The City of Columbus will receive $15,972.00 for the one year term of the lease agreement, with proceeds made payable to the City Treasurer for deposit in the General Fund.
Emergency Justification: Federal approval of the the Columbus Urban League grant for the Head Start program was administratively delayed until just recently. The Columbus Urban League is anxious to begin serving the children of this area with a Head Start program as soon as possible.
