Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) to provide services to enhance the program activities of the Centers of Disease Control Action Communities for Health Innovation and Environmental Change (ACHIEVE) . This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $45,000.00 in grant money to fund this program for the period of February 1, 2011, through February 28, 2014.

As a designated "ACHIEVE Communities," Columbus Public Health will receive support to strengthen a coalition of community partners and to develop a community action plan that addresses chronic disease prevention through policy, systems and environmental change strategies. Activities include training for two coaches and travel for Action Institute members to participate in training and capacity building in June 2011 and through February 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT: The program is funded by the National Association of County and City Health Officials through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and does not generate revenue or require a city match.
