Explanation
BACKGROUND: There is a need to transfer and appropriate funds to provide 2016 funding for the Area Commissions. Historically, the City has provided funds to the Area Commissions and Architectural Review Commissions, who through their daily operational functions, incur eligible expenses that require cash expenditures during the program year. These funds allow each Area and Architectural Review Commission the flexibility and individuality in decision making as they fulfill their functions and responsibilities as outlined in their bylaws and Columbus City Codes. Each Area and Architectural Review Commission will receive $2,500 in 2016.
Emergency action is requested so that payments to the Area and Architectural Review Commissions can be made immediately, thereby avoiding interruptions in services.
FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation transfers $16,383.00 from the General Fund to the Area Commission Fund and transfers $5,772.00 within the Area Commission Fund to provide monies in the proper projects for the 2016 funding of Area and Architectural Review Commissions. This legislation also appropriates $60,000 for operating expenses of the Area Commissions.
