Explanation

BACKGROUND:      The Board of Health has a need to make funds available to increase a contract with Children's Hospital.  The Board of Health has been awarded an additional grant award of $191,395, for a total grant award in an amount of $3,697,440 in grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004.  The Columbus Health Department has been designated as the primary grantee agency and administrator for all WIC programs in Franklin County.  The grant funds awarded provide for an increased contract with Children's Hospital for an additional amount not to exceed $28,000, and for a total contract amount not to exceed $333,022, for the operation of a WIC clinic at their facility.  The contract compliance number for Children's Hospital is 31-4379441.

The contract period is October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.

FISCAL IMPACT:        The Women, Infants and Children Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health.  This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
