Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into contract with the Ohio State University Research Foundation. The contract will provide $116,348.00 from the General Fund to support the Neighborhood Technical Assistance Program. This effort sponsors graduate student interns from the OSU City and Regional Planning masters program to provide technical assistance to neighborhood groups, civic associations and Area Commissions through the Department of Development, Neighborhood Liaison Program. Interns also support projects within city departments and divisions. This allows the interns to work with other Development Department staff on special projects. Graduate students provide technical planning and community development support while gaining valuable work experience. Funds from this contract are used by the OSU Research Foundation to provide stipends for twelve (12) students for three quarters and to cover administrative expenses associated with this project.

The legislation is an emergency due to the immediate need for program services.

FISCAL IMPACT:
$116,348.00 is available in the General Fund budget for this contract.
