Title

Authorizing the Mayor to accept a conditional transfer of a vehicle from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency through The Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO); and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

This vehicle is a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) modified for civilian law enforcement use. The MRAP will act as an armored personnel carrier to assist in the safe transport of personnel, injured persons, and supplies in extreme environments. The vehicle is not being purchased by the City of Toledo. This vehicle is a conditional transfer or “loan” and the title remains with U.S. Defense Logistics Agency.

 

1997's National Defense Authorization Act authorized the transfer of excess property to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The program has been commonly referred to as the 1033 Program, which refers to the numbered section of the U.S. code authorizing it.

 

Summary

NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

 

SECTION 1.  That the Mayor is authorized to accept a conditional transfer of a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Law Enforcement Support Office.

 

            SECTION 2.  That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property.
