Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has the need for interpretation services for non-English speaking clients at the three Columbus Health Department's Women's Health Services Clinics: East, North and West, for both intake and regular clinics. This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into a contract with the Ohio Hispanic Coalition for interpretation services for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, in an amount not to exceed $36,442.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract is provided with grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health in the amount of $36,442.
