Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Mayor of the City of Columbus to accept a Memorandum of Understanding and Interlocal Agreement between the City of Columbus and Franklin County, as is required by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, prior to receiving the FY 2011 Byrne Justice Assistance (JAG) Grant. The Franklin County Office of Homeland Security and Justice Programs will act as the required sole applicant, administrator, and fiscal agent for the grant.

Under the application for the JAG Program, funds will be allocated between Franklin County and various municipalities including the City of Columbus. The City of Columbus will receive, in the form of reimbursement, $325,872.90 from the County for the FY 2011 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant award.

The City and the County agree on this allocation and that a supplemental agreement will be entered into by the parties , which will more fully outline the use of the funds as well as criteria that will be required in order to receive a reimbursement of expenses, which will not exceed allocation.

The city's allocation of the Grant funds will include funding for the upgrade and maintenance of the Automated Fingerprint System (AFIS) and City's share of the re-entry program being run by the County.


Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to receive proceeds of the award in the shortest possible time.

FISCAL IMPACT: The total grant funds of $325,872.90 will be appropriated at a future date to properly align appropriations with intended expenditure line items. There are no matching funds required for this grant.
