Explanation

The WIC budget provides $197,761.54 for the lease of real property to be used as clinic space for the WIC Program.

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 Health receives the Notice of Award letter from ODH, it is necessary to establish this contract within the Health Special Revenue Fund. The Health Special Revenue Fund will be reimbursed for the expense upon receipt of a Notice Of Award from ODH. This grant does not generate revenue or require a City match.
