Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's roadways. The City receives an annual allocation of funds from the County's $5.00 Auto License Tax for Franklin County Engineer-approved projects completed by the City on arterial streets within City limits. This allocation is based on motor vehicle registrations within Columbus limits and is estimated to generate $2.9 million for 2005. After receipt, these funds are deposited into the City's County Auto License Tax Fund (Fund 264) and are used to reimburse costs incurred by the Transportation Division within other Funds. Preliminary approval for funding these projects has been received from the Franklin County Engineer.

This ordinance authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $2.9 million within the County Auto License Tax Fund as follows:

Projects Amount
2005 Signals $2,000,000.00
2005 Signs and Pavement Markings 900,000.00
Total $2,900,000.00

Fiscal Impact: Actual and anticipated receipts into the County Auto License Tax Fund are estimated to be sufficient to support this appropriation.

Emergency action is requested to promote efficient accounting practices and maintain prudent cash flow to division operating funds.
