Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the appropriation of Emergency Human Services Capital Funds to the Department of Development and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contract with The Homeless Families Foundation for costs to update electrical systems in the warehouse building being renovated for the Children's Education Center. The total amount of this contract is $ 50,000.00.

This legislation supports The Homeless Families Foundation, which serves this academically at-risk student population. The foundation provides tutoring and academic enrichment for children who live in family shelters, transitional housing, and at-risk children in the Columbus Public Schools. This ordinance represents funding for costs to update electrical systems in a converted warehouse at 33 N Grubb Street in the Franklinton area. This renovation project is converting unimproved warehouse space into usable, educational, enrichment and recreational areas, adds handicap accessibility and emergency egress, and upgrades the physical plant's HVAC, wiring, plumbing and kitchen facilities to meet current standards.

This ordinance is an emergency due to the agency's increasing participation of children from other agencies and need for additional space.

FISCAL IMPACT: In 2005, a total of $50,000.00 has been allocated to fund this project through the Emergency Human Services Capital Fund.
