Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Division of Fire was awarded a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to purchase a 24 Foot Hazardous Material Decontamination Trailer and a Hazardous Material All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). The Division of Fire Hazardous Material Team will use the trailer and ATV as quick response and decontamination stations at hazardous material incidents. The trailer will be designed to carry the ATV and Fire's remotely operated vehicle (Robot) to large fire or hazardous incidents. The total amount of the grant is $95,000.00. However, the total cost of purchasing the Trailer and the ATV is $223,816.91. The difference of $128,816.91 will be funded from The Department of Public Safety's voted Bond Funds. The payment of $95,000.00 will be issued by Franklin County, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and Ohio Emergency Management Agency. The City of Columbus and Franklin County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement via Ordinance 1917-2005 to enable this type of purchase. This legislation will authorize and direct the Director of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary for the purchases.

This legislation also authorizes the amendment of the 2010 Capital Improvement budget (CIB) and authorizes the City Auditor to transfer funds between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund.
