Explanation
This legislation authorizes an amendment to Ordinance No. 2945-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on November 20, 2023, to allow for a correction of one organization name listed.
Ordinance No. 2945-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on November 20, 2023, authorized the Director of the Department of Recreation and Parks to enter into professional service contracts for the provision of adult day care, transportation, and legal services for the period January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
Ordinance No. 2945-2023 included an organization with the name “Accountable Transportation, LLC.” It was recently discovered that the name listed for this organization must be updated to comply with City Auditor requirements.

Emergency Designation
All other information in Ordinance No. 2945-2023, including Exhibit A, remains the same. Emergency action is requested to prevent delay in services to older adults and people with disabilities in the Central Ohio region.
Fiscal Impact
No additional expenditures are required.
