Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: The City of Columbus Division of Police has been awarded funding through the Title II Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. This FY2004 funding award is for the sworn personnel costs and forms for the Truancy Deterrence Program. Uniformed Columbus Police Officers, working on an overtime basis, will take into custody any juvenile who should be in school and transport them to the appropriate school or agency. The program is intended to involve parents, legal guardians and all applicable parties in reducing truancy and possible criminal activities by truants. 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 needed to expedite making funds available for the ongoing program costs as soon as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact for the General Fund Account. All funds appropriated will be reimbursed by the grant award.
