Explanation
BACKGROUND: An additional appropriation is needed for the Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI) Checkpoints 2011 project due to additional funding provided by the Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO), State of Ohio. The OTSO works to reduce high traffic related crashes to save lives and reduce injuries and economic loss. This project will target reducing fatal crashes through strict enforcement of OVI within the interstate system in the City of Columbus and major arterial streets during specific periods. The additional funds will provide reimbursement for the overtime costs of sworn personnel working on the project. The additional funding is dependent on federal funds from the US Department of Transportation for Federal Fiscal Year 2011 and follows the fiscal year period, October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency legislation is necessary to make funds available for on-going project activities during the specified periods.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation of $9,465.54 from the unappropriated balance of the General Government Grant Fund for the Division of Police to cover the costs associated with the OVI Checkpoints 2011 project. All funds appropriated are reimbursable from the State of Ohio. There will be no impact on the financial status of the General Fund.
