Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Kids In Different Systems agency. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $680,208.00 in grant money to fund the Help Me Grow grant program for the period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007.

The Help Me Grow program provides home visits to mothers with newborns in Franklin County and service coordination for families with children aged 0-3 that are at risk or developmentally disabled in central Ohio.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible given the grant start date of July 1, 2006. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.


FISCAL IMPACT: The program is funded by Kids In Different Systems and does not generate revenue.
