SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the expenditure of $30,000 from the General Fund to engage a consultant to provide Source of Income (SOI) investigation training. This training is intended for City of Toledo staff and other individuals who will be involved in the investigation and enforcement of SOI related complaints.
