Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation is needed to increase the appropriation in the Mayor’s Office, general government grant fund by $5,000.00. Per an agreement with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO), the Mayor’s office partnered with CleanTurn LLC, to host a household hazardous waste and electronics recycling program. The city is to be reimbursed for expenses related to this event (i.e. promotion, labor, training, supplies). The general government grant fund will fund these expenses initially, with the understanding that SWACO will reimburse the fund, not to exceed $5,000.00.
The City of Columbus will conduct a household hazardous waste and electronics recycling drive on June 15, 2013 in partnership with SWACO, CleanTurn LLC, and RecycleForce. This event provides an opportunity for residents to dispose of materials in a convenient, safe and environmentally friendly manner for free. Event labor needs will be provided by CleanTurn LLC and RecycleForce. These two companies offer transitional employment opportunities; therefore, the program will simultaneously support city initiatives to help formerly incarcerated men and women reenter the workforce.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the increase in appropriation in the general government grant fund, fund 220, in the Mayor’s Office, to allow for the reimbursement from SWACO of $5,000.00, per an arrangement with SWACO. This fund provided initial funding for expenses related to the event and as such, will be receiving the reimbursement.
