Explanation

The City of Columbus and Franklin County need to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement as a special condition for the City to receive Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Subgrantee Awards from Franklin County. The City of Columbus and Franklin County are entering into the agreement to provide for the administration of the sub-grant awards in order to expeditiously acquire and pay for the grant-funded services and equipment while providing an appropriate audit trail for the expenditures. The objective of the Urban Area Security Initiative Program is to enhance local emergency, prevention and response agencies' ability to prepare for and respond to threats of terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Grant funds are designed to address the unique needs of large urban areas and can be used for equipment, training, exercises and planning. Multiple City agencies and projects are expected to receive subgrant awards including but not limited to the areas of police, fire, support services and health. The Intergovernmental Agreement must be approved by the City of Columbus and Franklin County for the sub-grant processing to be completed and prior to the expenditure of project funding.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to meet federal grant deadline and permit subgrantee award processing at the earliest possible times.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for the General Fund Account. The Agreement permits Franklin County to make the federal sub-grant expenditures.
