Explanation

Background: The Paving The Way...Program has been serving the citizens of the Greater Columbus area since 1990. This Program provides up-to-date roadway construction information to the public and the media on traffic detours, alternate travel routes and road closures, technical advice and coordination for road construction related activities, public messages advocating work zone safety, demand reduction (carpooling, use of mass transit) and traffic management. Additionally, Paving The Way… maintains a web site www.pavingtheway.org and automated mailing lists that send out construction updates to over 3,000 recipients daily.

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a three-year contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC).

Fiscal Impact: The cost of the three-year program will be $750,000.00 of which eighty percent (80%) is funded with MORPC STP-M funds ($600,000.00) and twenty percent local funds ($150,000.00) (total $750,000.00).

The city's share over the three-year period will be $150,000.00 and will come from Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund. This ordinance transfers the city match ($150,000.00) to the General Government Grant Fund and appropriates that match and the entire MORPC share ($600,000.00) (total of $750,000.00) in that Fund, where it is then authorized for expenditure.

Emergency action is requested to maximize the extent to which expended city funds will count toward the required city share.
