Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Campus Compact Pay It Forward Student Philanthropy Project of Nursing for the Pay It Forward Under-Immunization of Children Under Five Project. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $2,250.00 in grant money to fund this project.

The goal of this grant is to increase the childhood immunization rate in children under the age of five that reside in the 43203 ZIP code district. This will be accomplished by multiple methods and through various partnering organizations. This grant will enhance current immunization outreach in this area by providing internet access to review immunization records through Impact SIIS, the statewide immunization registry and by purchasing grocery gift cards as incentives for keeping children up to date on their immunizations. Additionally, the grant will provide assistance for a door-to-door campaign that will promote the importance of childhood immunizations and advertisement of direct service outreach activities. This grant is for the period June 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011.

Emergency action is requested 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: This program is funded by Ohio Campus Compact, and will not generate revenue or require a City match.
