Explanation
BACKGROUND: Resolution 0088X-2007, adopted June 4, 2007, supported the continuation of the Columbus Downtown Office Incentive Program (DOI) as one of the development tools needed to implement the Downtown Business Plan. This legislation authorizes the payments to employers who have met the requirements of their Downtown Office Incentive Program agreement.
For tax year 2013, the City of Columbus had a total of nine active DOI projects for which employers have met the requirements of their DOI agreements and thus are eligible to receive their payments for 2013. The total dollar amount to be disbursed for these nine 2013 DOI payments is $710,207.25. The nine projects with the DOI payment subtotals are as follows: (1) $17,785.26 to CoverMyMeds, LLC; (2) $1,263.46 to Jeffrey P. Norman, Standing Chapter 13 Trustee for the Southern District of Ohio; (3) $28,697.54 to Lancaster Pollard & Co.; (4) $184,430.73 to Momentive Specialty Chemicals, Inc.; (5) $26,479.85 to Ohio Credit Union League; (6) $350,000.00 to OhioHealth Corporation; (7) $34,923.47 to Plante & Moran, PLLC; (8) $12,421.30 to State Auto Property and Casualty Insurance Company; and (9) $54,205.64 to Turner Construction Company.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes and directs the City Auditor to transfer $177,551.81 from the Special Income Tax Fund to the General Fund and authorizes the transfer of $710,207.25 within the General Fund. The transfer amount of $177,551.81 has been factored into the current special income tax analysis and resultant capital capacity. The remaining amount of the payment was included in the 2014 General Fund Budget.
