The Columbus City Council approved an emergency ordinance authorizing a series of financial transactions totaling over $35.5 million to ensure the continued funding of basic city services through the end of 2025. The ordinance includes a $35 million appropriation in the General Fund Income Tax Set Aside (ITSA) Subfund and transfers within the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair (SCMR) Fund. It also addresses an expenditure correction of over $20.6 million and re-establishes canceled purchase orders for the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) and Rumpke, covering tipping fees and yard waste/recycling services. The measure was passed as an emergency to allow for immediate posting to the city's accounting system, preventing any interruption in departmental operations.
