Explanation
Need: The City of Columbus Division of Police was recently awarded FY2004 funding thru a Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act Title II grant for the School Sports Violence Project. This project will continue the current Columbus Division of Police (CPD) and Columbus Public Schools collaboration to reduce incidents of violent and/or disorderly behavior at high school athletic events. The funding will provide for an increased sworn police presence for identified "at risk" school sporting events. Risk assessments will be provided by the school system, CPD School Resource Officers and the CPD Criminal Information Unit. The City must act as subgrantee to the Franklin County Board of Commissioners through the Justice Programs Unit according to the federal grant guidelines. Therefore the Mayor is required to sign a subgrantee award and document to accept on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact for the General Fund Account. All grant expenditures will be reimbursed through the grant funding award.
