Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $25,000 in grant money to fund the HIV Incidence Project grant program, for the period January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005.

The Columbus Health Department and the Ohio Department of Health will be collaborating to pilot the HIV Incidence Project. This project requires conducting the Serologic Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion (STARHS) test, performed on the remnants of HIV confirmatory tests (HIV positive specimens). The data obtained from this project will help identify recent HIV infections, and provide valuable information to HIV Prevention staff at both the state and local levels to incorporate into HIV prevention efforts.

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. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The HIV Incidence Project Grant Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health and does not generate revenue or require a City match.
