Explanation
Background: As part of a Certified Local Government (CLG) agreement between the City and the State, the City Historic Preservation Officer is charged with reviewing and recommending approval of applications submitted to the Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OHPO) for funding of preservation projects in the City of Columbus.
An application has been submitted by Heritage Ohio to host the National Alliance for Preservation Commission's (NAPC) Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP) workshop in the summer of 2010, in the City of Columbus. Workshop attendees will come from throughout Ohio.
The Ohio Preservation Office has recommended approval of this $7,493 CLG grant application. The City will not receive the grant dollars, nor have any direct responsibility in their administration. The funding will go directly from the state to the implementing agent and no funds are required from the City. This ordinance is necessary to complete the grant approval process because of the CLG agreement, which identifies the City Historic Preservation Officer as the CLG Grant Project Coordinator.
Fiscal Impact: The City will not receive the grant dollars, nor have any direct responsibility in their administration. The funding will go directly from the state to Heritage Ohio and no funds are required from the City.
