Explanation
Ordinance #1774-2008, passed by Columbus City Council December 3, 2008, authorized the Director of Finance & Management to enter into a lease agreement by and between the City of Columbus and the County Commissioners of Franklin County for the property located at 375 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio, 43215 (known as the Franklin County Municipal Court Building) commencing April 1, 2009 and continuing automatically for successive one-year terms unless the City provides sixty (60) days written notice, prior to the expiration of the then current term, of its intention to terminate the lease at the end of the term, and subject to the annual appropriation and certification of funds for payment of rent. The annual rent for the lease is the sum of the County's actual operating costs to provide janitorial service to the space occupied or used by the City and the pro-rated cost of the building casualty insurance excluding any coverage for contents. The operating costs for the 2014 lease year have now been finalized.
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to expend funds for the payment of annual rent for the one (1) year term beginning April 1, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015 for the lease agreement with the County Commissioners of Franklin County for the property located at 375 South High Street.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of up to $370,000.00 appropriated pursuant to the 2014 General Fund Appropriation Ordinance.
Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested to allow services to the building to continue without interruption. Earlier action was not possible until 2013 costs were finalized to allow 2014 costs to be fully calculated.
