Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the City Auditor to transfer $19,151.88 from the Fleet Management Capital Fund to the General Government Grants Fund to complete the required City match.
The City of Columbus, Finance and Management Department, Fleet Management Division, was awarded a grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) through the local Clean Cities Coalition designee, Clean Fuels Ohio. The funding opportunity is titled "Clean Cities FY09 Petroleum Reduction Technologies Projects for the Transportation Sector," Area of Interest 4. This grant was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to fund projects that expanded the use of alternative fueled vehicles and advanced technology vehicles for local communities, as well as the installation or acquisition of infrastructure necessary to directly support such vehicles.
Through a routine grant reconciliation, it was determined that additional funds were needed to match the City's funding requirements under the grant.
Emergency action is requested so that the necessary funds can be transferred and the grant match completed.
Fiscal Impact: Funds needed to effect the transfer are budgeted and available within the Fleet Management Capital Fund. This will complete the city match required under the grant. The Fleet Management Division purchased Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) equipment and infrastructure with these grant funds and the city match. This project is now complete and there will be no further financial activity under this grant.
