Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director, on behalf of the City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division, to accept a $141,500.00 2004 "Recycle, Ohio!" grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention, for continued operation of the Keep Columbus Beautiful (KCB) program in 2004. This ODNR grant represents a significant funding source for the Keep Columbus Beautiful program that operates within the Refuse Collection Division of the Public Service Department to implement recycling, litter prevention and waste reduction education and awareness activities throughout the year. This ordinance also appropriates these grant funds.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention, requires a City match for the 2004 "Recycle, Ohio!" grant. City matching funds in the amount of $28,300.00 are included in the pending 2004 Refuse Collection Division General Fund operating budget request.

Emergency action is requested to allow the division to formalize ODNR's 2004 "Recycle, Ohio" grant arrangements to allow for the uninterrupted operation of the Keep Columbus Beautiful program, and to meet payroll obligations of employees that are funded by this grant.
