Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Safety Director to enter into the third year of a contract with Leads Online LLC for access to the company's Automated Scrap Materials and Used Goods Transaction Information Management System and to allow for online electronic reporting system for all pawnshop, secondhand and scrap metal dealers in Columbus, nationwide access to pawn/secondhand transaction information, report and searches. The company maintains records from all participants operating as licensed scrap metal facilities located in the continental United States and makes the information available to the Columbus Division of Police for investigative searches of stolen goods, especially scrap metal. The term of the original contract was for three (3) years and may be renewed upon its anniversary date up to two (2) additional years beyond the initial term. The term of this third year renewal shall be from March 1, 2011 to February 28, 2012 and shall not exceed $74,400.00.

Ordinance 0441-2007, passed in July 2007, amended Columbus City Codes to provide licensing and regulation of scrap metal dealers and ensures that motor vehicles and metal sold as scrap are legitimately owned by the seller.
