Explanation

BACKGROUND:  In 2003, a grant was received by the Franklin County Municipal Court by the State of Ohio for the purpose of providing funds for staffing costs associated with the intensive supervision of repeat OVI (operating a vehicle under the influence) offenders.  After completion of the grant cycle, a small amount of funds remained unexpended.  This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of those grant funds from the State of Ohio, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, for the purpose of refunding the unused funds to the State of Ohio.

Title

To authorize the appropriation of $3,610 from the general government grant fund to the Franklin County Municipal Court, and to declare an emergency. ($3,610.00)

Body

Whereas, funds were received by the Franklin County Municipal Court from the State of Ohio, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction during 2003 for a probation program that provided intensive supervision for repeat OVI offenders; and

Whereas, not all funds allocated for this program were spent during the grant cycle and as a consequence, the funds must be returned to the State of Ohio; and

Whereas, appropriation of the remaining funds is necessary to return the money to the State of Ohio; and

WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation of the Franklin County Municipal Court, in that it is necessary to appropriate the aforementioned grant funds in order to return them to the State of Ohio, for the immediate preservation of the public health, peace, property and safety; now, therefore:

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS

Section 2.  That the monies appropriated in Section 1 shall be paid upon order of the Administrative and Presiding Judge and that no order shall be drawn or money paid except by voucher, the form of which shall be approved by the City Auditor.

Section 3.  That for the reasons stated in the preamble hereto which is hereby made a part hereof, this ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and approval by the Mayor or ten days after passage if the Mayor neither approves nor vetoes the same.
