Explanation
BACKGROUND: An appropriation is needed for the Stop Teenage Opportunity to Purchase (S.T.O.P.) Program. The Columbus Division of Police has collaborated with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and other local law enforcement agencies to reduce the opportunity for juveniles to purchase alcohol throughout Franklin County. The S.T.O.P. program has provided reimbursement for sworn overtime pay for underage alcohol enforcement activities. An appropriation is needed to properly process the final 2012 reimbursement amount and complete the accounting activities for the city assigned S.T.O.P. grant account.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an appropriation of $3,558.64 in the General Government Grant Fund in order to process the final 2012 S.T.O.P. program costs. S.T.O.P. program reimbursements have been received from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office for Columbus Police Division S.T.O.P. program overtime expenditures. This final appropriation is needed to complete the city internal accounting processing of the 2012 S.T.O.P. Grant funds.
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is needed to make the appropriated funds available as soon as possible to complete the calendar year 2012 S.T.O.P. program accounting activities. Emergency status will allow the necessary final financial transactions to be posted in the City's accounting system and the S.T.O.P. program city grant account closed in the most timely manner.
