BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 0860-2016, approved by City Council on May 2, 2016, authorized the Board of Health to enter into contracts with four not-for-profit community agencies to meet the deliverables for the United Health Foundation CelebrateOne Community Connector Corps Grant Project. This project helps support a citywide resident engagement program to connect pregnant women to medical and social supports in their neighborhood. The initial contract period was February 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017. Ordinance No. 2958-2016, approved by City Council on December 5, 2016 increased and extended the contract period through October 31, 2017.
This ordinance is needed to authorize the Board of Health to increase three of the contracts as listed below and extend the time period through December 31, 2017:
