Explanation
This ordinance corrects PO301428 with Legacy Youth Sports Academy by adjusting the funding source and updating the agreement from a service contract to a grant agreement.
Legacy Youth Sports Academy has organized an opportunity for youths ages 6-15 to travel to Orlando, Florida and compete for a National Championship. These students will not only be representing the city of Columbus, but they will be representing the entire state of Ohio. Students will also have an opportunity to visit the African American History & Culture Museum, attend a career day at Universal Studios, and receive tickets to the Universal Honors Ceremony for their academic and athletic achievements. These students have proven that they are not only dedicated to their athletics but their academics as well.
The city’s funding of $30,000 for expenses incurred between November 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 will supplement the $65,000 that Legacy Youth Sports Academy has already raised in support of their effort.
Emergency action is requested in order to update the current purchase order and to provide grant funding prior to the end of the calendar year.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available within the Neighborhood Initiatives subfund.
