Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations requires the appropriation of funds within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund to allow for sufficient authority to pay for utilities for which the Division is responsible.

These funds are necessary to pay for utilities that were under-budgeted due to rate hikes granted in 2009 by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) retro-active to January 2009 for AEP and for increases in City Electric and storm water expenses.
