Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a Women, Infants, and Children (W.I.C.) grant from the Ohio Department of Health. The Ohio Department of Health is sending the grant funds in large quarterly payments, resulting in monthly interest distributions from a large cash balance. This ordinance is needed to create $8,000 additional appropriation for the WIC Grant, for the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008.

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 Women, Infants and Children Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. Other than interest income, this program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
