Explanation

BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Administrative Judge of the Franklin County Municipal Court to accept a grant in the amount of $146,205 from the State of Ohio, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, and to appropriate from the unappropriated balance of the general government grant fund to the Probation Department of the Franklin County Municipal Court, the total amount of the grant. This grant will fund a significant portion of the salaries and fringe benefits of two probation officers who will perform specialized supervision to individuals with multiple convictions for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In addition, this ordinance authorizes a transfer of $11,500 from the Court's special revenue fund, probation fees, as a grant match to fund the balance of the salaries and fringe benefits not funded by the State of Ohio.

FISCAL IMPACT
No general fund resources are needed as the grant match is available from the Court's special revenue fund, probation fees.

Emergency legislation is requested to expedite funding for the new grant cycle as close to its commencement on July 1, 2009 as possible.
