Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department expects to be awarded a grant from the Ohio Commission On Minority Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $89,116 to fund the Minority Health Planning Grant Program, for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The purpose of the grant is to address needs and disparities in the City of Columbus in order to continue to develop the local Minority Health Program. The delay in the State budget process is delaying the notice of award for this grant. The City Auditor will assign a grant number and OCA once a notice of award is received.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Minority Health Grant Program is fully funded by the Ohio Commission On Minority Health. This program does not generate revenue. The Ohio Commission On Minority Health does require a $43,558 City match, which is budgeted in the Health Special Revenue Fund.
