BACKGROUND:  The Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health originated by the Center for Disease Control.  The purpose of this ordinance is to accept and appropriate $90,000 in grant money for the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Project for the City of Columbus.  This project develops and implements a program for the prevention of childhood lead poisoning through on-site testing and educational activities.  This grant is for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005.
