Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $425,000.00 within the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund for the Division of Planning and Operations. This ordinance also authorizes the reimbursement to the Franklin County Engineer’s Office up to $400,000.00 or for snow and ice removal services for the 2013-2014 winter season within this fund. In order to capture operating efficiencies, County and City forces occasionally service portions of the others’ roadways that lie within the other’s jurisdiction. The County always services more city roadways than the City services county roadways. The entities settle up once each year and this payment represents the estimated net amount due the County.
