Explanation

The City of Columbus and Franklin County need to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements as a special condition for the city to receive State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Sub-grantee Awards from Franklin County. The City of Columbus and Franklin County are entering into the agreements to provide for the administration of the sub-grant awards in order to expeditiously acquire and pay for the grant funded services and equipment while providing an appropriate audit trail for the expenditures. The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) provides funding to enhance the ability of state and local agencies to prevent, deter, respond to and recover from threats and incidents of terrorism involving the use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) weapons and cyber attacks. The grant funds homeland security and emergency operations planning, the purchase of specialized equipment and training, and costs associated with implementing State Homeland Security Assessments and Strategies and Urban Area Security Initiatives. Multiple City agencies and projects are expected to receive sub-grant awards including but not limited to the areas of police, fire, support services and health. The Intergovernmental Agreements must be approved by the City of Columbus and Franklin County for the sub-grant processing to be completed and prior to the expenditure of project funds.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to meet federal grant deadline and permit sub-grantee award processing at the earliest possible times.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for the General Fund Account. The Agreements permit Franklin County to make the federal sub-grant expenditures.
