Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $136,000.00 in grant money to fund the Safe Communities grant program.

The Safe Communities program provides expanded traffic prevention services through the dissemination of safety awareness information and education forums throughout Columbus and Franklin County.

This grant is for the period October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007.
