Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has the need for interpretation services for non-English speaking clients at the Columbus Health Department's Women's Health Services Clinic, for both intake and regular clinics. This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into a contract with the Ohio Hispanic Coalition for interpretation services for the period of July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, in an amount not to exceed $36,442.00.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract is provided with grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health in the amount of $36,442.00.
