Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 1228-2009, passed October 5, 2009, provided supplemental General Fund allocations of $35,700 for the IMPACT/Community Action Organization computer training program and an additional $8,855 for the Somali Association for Central Ohio for refugee and resettlement services. It has since been determined that IMPACT does not require its full allocation allowing a portion of the funds to be reallocated to other human services programs.
This legislation authorizes the amendment of Ordinance 1228-2009 to include the United Way of Central Ohio, acting as the fiscal agent of The Franklin County EITC Coalition, to support their coordination of the 2009 tax year Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Program. $10,000 of funding will be reallocated from IMPACT/Community Action Organization computer training program to the United Way. The funding will be used to finance and support the United Way's effort to coordinate and deliver the 2009 tax-year Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program. Other activities and services will include those necessary to promote and encourage participation in the Tax Credit Program through the electronic and print media.
Emergency action is requested to so vital program services can begin immediately to coincide with the 2009 tax preparation season.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are necessary for this modification.
