Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Safety to pay the City of Columbus' proportionate share for the operation and administration of the Emergency Management Agency for Franklin County (EMAFC).

The Agency's operational activities also include planning for disaster recovery and public education and exercises. The city's participation with EMAFC is in accordance with State law. All activities of the agency are supported by local government funds and some federal grants. Emergency designation will ensure timely payments to EMAFC.

The city's total share in 2003 was $300,289 and $286,675 in 2002.
