Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: The City of Columbus Division of Police has been awarded funding through the S.T.O.P. Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) 2003 Initiative. The grant funding will enhance and continue existing Sexual Assault Squad (SAS) services through the purchase of specialized investigative, office and communications equipment, and supplies. The City must act as subgrantee to the Franklin County Board of Commissioners through the Justice Programs Unit according to the federal grant guidelines. Therefore, the mayor is required to sign a subgrantee award and contract document to accept the award on behalf of the City.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to expedite the acceptance and expenditure of the awarded funds in the limited project period ending December 31, 2004.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact for the General Fund Account. The City through the Division of Police will provide an in-kind match for the grant.
