Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: An appropriation and transfer of funds from the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG) Operation Nite Lite and Central Ohio Regional Drug (CORD) Task Force is needed to return unused cash matching funds to their original source. The Columbus Division of Police is active in outside funded activities and collaborative projects to enhance the effectiveness of its limited resources. Such activities and projects often require cash matches from the participating agencies. The JAIBG Operation Nite Lite and CORD Task Force are recently completed examples of these endeavors by the Division. The Nite Lite program had an original budget of $104,473.00 and has $212.71 of remaining City matching funds. The CORD Task Force had an original budget of $134,000.00 and has $1,470.43 of State matching funds and $2,836.88 of City matching funds remaining. The nature of these program activities did not lend themselves to the exact total expenditure of all budgeted funds and it was necessary they not create any deficit balances or obligations. The State funds need returned to the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI&I). The City matching funds came from the Law Enforcement Contraband Seizure Fund and need returned there.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to enable the most expedient reimbursement to the State and to make the seizure funds available for other use.

FISCAL IMPACT

There will be no fiscal impact on the City General Fund account. The funds awaiting refund and transfer are in special grant accounts.
