Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: An appropriation and authorization is needed to reimburse federal grant funds paid to the city in error by the State Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for the DNA-No Suspect (FY2003) Grant. These funds were identified as part of a check for a much larger amount. However, the state would not reissue that check in the correct amount and has requested reimbursement for this overpayment. Both the city and the state are in agreement on the amount as $16,000.00

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to enable the most expedient reimbursement to the State.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no fiscal impact for the City General Fund Account. The funds awaiting appropriation and reimbursement to the state are in the DNA-No Suspect (FY2003) Grant Account.

To authorize an appropriation from the DNA-No Suspect (FY2003) Grant Account and to authorize the Director of Public Safety of the City of Columbus to reimburse the State Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and to declare an emergency. ($16,000.00)
