Explanation
The City of Columbus has been awarded a $296,168.00 grant by the United States Department of Justice to bolster anti-gang activity. This grant was authorized for acceptance and funds appropriated within the General Government Grant Fund by Ordinance 0356-2006 passed by City Council March 6, 2006. Anti-gang initiatives are being pursued by the Public Safety Director's Office and the Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division, Keep Columbus Beautiful program. That ordinance appropriated $220,168.00 to the Safety Director's Office and $76,000.00 to the Refuse Collection Division based on the preliminary grant budget.

Several changes have subsequently been made in the grant budget, all of which have been approved by the Department of Justice. These changes have resulted in two transfer letters that transferred appropriation within the Refuse Collection Division's appropriation authority germane to the grant. Appropriation authority was transferred between major spending categories (Object Level One Codes).

The Refuse Collection Division and the Public Safety Director's Office are desirous of transferring a portion of Refuse's grant money back to the Safety Director's Office to mirror the grant's revised budget for each entity.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Emergency action is requested to allow the transfer of appropriation authority to occur as soon as possible to promote expeditious prosecution of the intent and programs of this grant.
