Explanation

Need: The City of Columbus Division of Police has been awarded funding through the S.T.O.P. Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 2006 initiative. Acceptance and appropriation of the awarded funds are needed for the purchase of a color printer and digital cameras and equipment to document DV Unit cases. The City must act as a subgrantee to the Franklin County Board of Commissioners through the Franklin County Office of Homeland Security and Justice Programs according to the federal grant guidelines. Therefore, the Mayor is required to sign a subgrantee award and contract documents to accept the award on behalf of the city.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact for the City General Fund Account. All appropriated funds are reimbursable by the grant, and the city, through the Division of Police, will use sworn salary for the grant match requirement.
