Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service, on behalf of the City of Columbus, the Department of Public Service, and the Division of Refuse Collection, to accept the 2011 Community Development Grant for $100,000.00 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention, to be used for the purchase of curbside recycling containers in 2011. This ODNR grant represents a funding source for the Curbside Recycling Program that will operate within the Division of Refuse Collection on behalf of the Department of Public Service to implement recycling and waste reduction activities. This ordinance also appropriates these grant funds.

2. FISCAL IMPACT
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention, shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the 2011 Community Development Grant award to be used for project costs with the remaining payment being withheld to reconcile the grant account at the end of the grant period or closeout of the grant. City matching funds in the amount of $309,052.50 are included in the Division of Refuse Collection's 2011 CIB Project 520001-100011 Recycling Equipment - Recycling Containers capital budget request.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION
The Department of Public Service is requesting City Council to declare this an emergency measure in order to allow the acceptance and appropriation to occur at the earliest possible time and for 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.
