Explanation

Background
This legislation will authorize an appropriation of federal grant funds from the unappropriated balance of the Recreation and Parks Grant Fund to the Recreation and Parks Department.

Grant funding is being made available by the Ohio Department of Aging to the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging in connection with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
