Explanation
Columbus Public Health has applied for a grant from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period October 1, 2011 through September 30,2012. The WIC budget provides $192,947.20 for the lease of real property to be used as clinic space for the WIC program.

Holt Road Center, LLC 3,600 $14.00 202695096
Of the leases listed above, the PLM of Cols. lease will be a new lease to replace an existing lease that has no remaining renewal options; the Setterlin, LGPG,LP, and Holt Road leases will be automatically renewed per previous authorizing legislation; and the Dr. Beard lease had previously been approved per Ordinance 0933-2011, and this Ordinance authorizes the funding for this lease from the Health Special Revenue Fund.
Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Because the new WIC Project cannot be created until Columbus Public Health receives the Notice of Award letter from ODH, it is necessary to establish these contracts within the Health Special Revenue Fund. The Health Special Revenue Fund will be reimbursed for the expenses upon receipt of a Notice of Award from ODH. This grant does not generate revenue or require a City match.
