Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department was awarded a Women, Infants, and Children (W.I.C.) grant from the Ohio Department of Health. The Ohio Department of Health is sending the grant funds in large quarterly payments, resulting in monthly interest distributions from a large cash balance. This ordinance is needed to authorize $21,000 additional appropriation on the WIC grant for total appropriation on the grant in the amount of $5,257,485, for the period October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Women, Infants and Children Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program, with the exception of interest distribution, does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
