Explanation
BACKGROUND: There is a need to appropriate funds to provide 2017 funding for the Milo Grogan Area Commission. Historically, the City has provided funds to the Area Commissions, who through their daily operational functions, incur eligible expenses that require cash expenditures during the program year. These funds allow each Area Commission the flexibility and individuality in decision making as they fulfill their functions and responsibilities as outlined in their bylaws and Columbus City Code.
