Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation and Refuse Collection Divisions, incurred extraordinary snow and debris removal expenses during the period December 24-26, 2004. The federal government declared that Franklin County was a certified disaster area. Ordinance 0916-2005 passed by City Council on June 6, 2005 authorized that grant applications be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) as appropriate for reimbursement of these expenses. Reimbursement was approved and checks totaling $207,924.00 for these divisions has been received and deposited in the General Government Grant Fund. The Finance and Management Department is appropriating this sum within the General Government Grant Fund in separate legislation.

This ordinance provides for the transfer, appropriation and expenditure of these monies within the Transportation and Refuse Collection Divisions' operating budgets as appropriate. The Transportation Division will use its snow removal money ($198,055.00) to purchase rock salt and its debris removal money ($8,905.00) to pay landfill tipping fees. The Refuse Collection Division will use its debris removal money ($964.00) to pay for overtime.

Fiscal Impact: Most of this money will augment the Transportation Division's traditional funding source for the purchase of rock salt, the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund. The adequacy of resources for this commodity is an on-going concern. This ordinance serves to partially replace funding/resources consumed during this winter storm as appropriate.
