Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify Agreement PO210530 with YWCA Columbus by extending the Agreement termination date from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. This extension will allow YWCA Columbus to fully complete emergency shelter repairs of real property located at 900 Harvey Court Columbus, OH 43219.
The COVID19 pandemic created a great challenge during 2020 and while the YWCA was able to complete a surprising number of projects, it was unable to complete all of the outlined capital improvement projects in this agreement. Currently repairs are in progress. This legislation would modify the Agreement authorized by Ordinance No.2819-2019.
Emergency action is requested so repair activities can continue and be completed without further delay.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are needed for this modification.
