Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health in the amount of $7,000 for the Immunization Action Plan (IAP) grant program. These funds will allow for the purchase of additional materials and supplies for this program's outreach activities. The purpose of this ordinance is to accept and appropriate these funds through the period ending December 31, 2003.

The IAP program enables the Columbus Health Department to ensure that critical elements of vaccine provided, and the vaccine delivery system, are adequate; to establish and maintain a high level of awareness and demand for immunizations by parents of all children; and to accurately measure the ability of local vaccine providers to raise immunizations levels in children under the age of two. Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting systemas soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: This program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This grant will not generate revenue or require a City match.
