Explanation

BACKGROUND: It is necessary to appropriate $152,638.00 from the unappropriated balance of the Agency Fund titled BCI Background Checks. Funds are available in this fund for the purpose of paying the State of Ohio, Bureau of Criminal Identification for fingerprint background check services. Services that BCI provides are outlined in Ohio Revised Code 109.572.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Police collects $22.00 for a state background check and $24.00 for a federal background check, in addition to a $10.00 fee that is charged to the applicant. This $10.00 fee is deposited into the General Fund. The division uses the National WebCheck to process applicant's request for background checks. The Police Division must reimburse BCI for processing the background checks of potential city employees and residents who request a background check. Since receipts were not deposited into this fund until August of this year, corrections for revenues and expenditures will be needed. There is also a need for the Division of Police to enter into a contract with the State of Ohio, Bureau of Criminal Identification in the amount of $152,638.00 in order to pay for these services.

Bid Information: N/A

Contract Compliance: N/A

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested in order to pay outstanding invoices that the Division has accumulated.
