This ordinance provides for the appropriation of $4,200.00 from the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging (COAAA) to fund DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) lines for Caregiver Resource Centers established at seven Columbus Recreation and Parks Department Multigenerational Adult Program (formerly Senior) Centers.
COAAA received a federal grant in the fall of 2001 to establish the Caregiver Resource Centers at locations throughout Central Ohio. Previous funding for DSL lines was $4,200.00 in 2002, $4,200.00 in 2003 and $4,200.00 in 2004 from COAAA. This funding will continue support during 2004 and 2005. These DSL lines provide internet access for citizens to research additional or specialized information.
Fiscal Impact:
$4,200.00 in grant funding will be used exclusively for the Caregiver Resource Centers.
The fiscal impact of this ordinance will be to reduce the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund's unappropriated balance by $4,200.00.
