Staff is presently preparing the necessary documentation to complete the required application for Emerald Parkway Phase 8, Riverside Drive to Billingsley Creek Project, Project No. 07-008-CIP. The application is due to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) on September 8, 2008. The two funding sources available through this grant application are LTIP and SCIP. LTIP funds are available through the federal government via the per gallon federal gas tax. This money becomes available July l , 2009 and is distributed through grants only. SCIP funds are supported by the sale of state bonds. This money is also available July 1, 2009 and is distributed in the form of grants and loans. No local match is required with the LTIP application, whereas a 50°Io local match is required with the SCIP application. The total estimated project cost is approximately $13,621,900 which includes final design, bidding, construction, inspection services, right-of-way acquisition and contingences. To secure the best possible scoring, staff is requesting approximately $667,473 in grant money under the LTIP funding process and $2,000,000 as loan money under the SCIP process. The loan is a 0°Io interest loan for 20-years. Funds received from either source will provide assistance with upfront cash flow associated with this project. This project will be funded by the TIF districts (McKitrick, Kroger Centre and Lifetime Fitness) that have designated Emerald Parkway as a public infrastructure improvement benefiting the property within the districts. Recommendation Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 64-08 authorizing and directing the City Manager to apply to District Three Public Works Integrating Committee and the Ohio Public Works Commission for financial assistance for the Emerald Parkway Phase 8, Riverside Drive to Billingsley Creek Project.
