BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes an amendment to Ordinance No. 2944-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on November 20, 2023, to allow for a correction of the names of two organizations listed in Exhibit A.
Ordinance No. 2944-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on November 20, 2023, authorized the Director of the Department of Recreation and Parks to enter into 21 not-for-profit service contracts for the provision of congregate and home-delivered meals, adult day care, medical assessment, supportive services, homemaker, personal care, transportation, home repair, and legal services for the period January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
Exhibit A included organizations with the names “The Legal Aid Society of Columbus” and “Ohio State Legal Services Association”.

Emergency Designation
All other information in Exhibit A remains the same. Emergency action is requested in to prevent delay in services to older adults and people with disabilities in the Central Ohio region.
