Explanation
BACKGROUND: The need exists to amend Ordinance No. 3288-2023, passed by Columbus City Council on December 4, 2023, which authorized the Director of the Department of Public Safety to enter into contract with The Research Foundation of the City University of New York on behalf of the National Network for Safe Communities (NNSC) at John Jay College to work directly with the Columbus Violence Reduction (CVR) team and other Columbus officials and community leaders to advance the Group Violence Intervention (GVI) implementation and strengthen police legitimacy.
An amendment is now required to revise the term of the contract. Ordinance No. 3288-2023 listed the term of the contract as October 4, 2023 through August 31, 2024. Due to delays in executing the contract, there is a need to amend the term to begin on October 4, 2023 and end one year after the contract signing or execution by both parties.
Term: The agreement shall be for the period covering October 4, 2023 and ending August 31, 2024. The Agreement shall be for a period beginning October 4, 2023 and ending one year after the contract signing or execution by both parties. This Agreement shall not automatically renew
Fiscal Impact: $59,700.00 is encumbered on ACPO009900. The ACPO should be updated to reflect the new ordinance number.
Emergency action is requested so that a contract can be entered into immediately and project activities can begin without delay.
