Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department was awarded the Public Health Infrastructure grant from the Ohio Department of Health through the Center for Disease Control in the amount of $974,584 in September 2005. The Ohio Department of Health has recently approved a budget revision for this program resulting in appropriation realignment to fund approved activities. This ordinance is needed to realign appropriation in the amount of $79,790 for the time period ending August 30, 2006.

The Public Health Infrastructure program established the Franklin County/City of Columbus support network that would be required in the event of bioterrorism activity in the central region of the state of Ohio. It also allocates funding for the Regional Medical Response System for central Ohio and the Cities Readiness Initiative.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transactions 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 realignment of appropriation within the Health Department Grants Fund is budget neutral.
