Explanation
 
In an effort to augment City revenues, the Transportation Division initiated an audit of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle's license registrations in 1993 to ascertain that Columbus motor vehicle registrations were being correctly credited.  This effort has become an ongoing audit, which has recovered over $1 million per year since its inception.  As a result of the initiation of this program and the actual cost savings that has and continues to occur, the Transportation Division received the Santa Maria Award and $5,000.00 in cash.  The cash was deposited into a Special Purpose Fund to be used for employee awards.
 
This ordinance appropriates the Special Purpose Fund monies currently on hand, in the amount of $1,001.77 to allow for the payment of expenditures in connection with the distribution of employee awards for the year 2008.
 
Fiscal Impact:  the Santa Maria Award cash proceeds were $5,000.00; this was deposited into the Special Purpose Fund, Fund 223, for the Employee Award Program.  The current cash balance after 2007 expenditures is $1,001.77 and is available for the Employee Award Program for the year 2008.
