Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: This legislation is needed so State Law Enforcement Seizure Funds can be donated to the Mayor's Office of Education Cap City Kid's Program. O.R.C. § 2933.43(D) requires that municipal corporation police departments use a certain prescribed percentage of state seizure funds in connection with community drug education programs. The Cap City Kid's Program does fund preventive drug abuse programs that are acceptable for receipt of these funds. This donation, by the Division of Police to The Mayor's Office of Education is in compliance with this section of the O.R.C.

Additional Need: An additional appropriation of State Law Enforcement Seizure Funds is needed to transfer funds to the Cap City Kids Program and to donate funds to the Children's Hospital Drug Research Unit.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency legislation is requested to transfer these funds to this program so funds will be available as soon as possible for their use.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO: N/A

FISCAL IMPACT:

Since these funds to be donated are State Seizure Funds, there will be no financial effect on the City's General Fund Account.
